Co., Ltd. # Comment: 8 Port Hardware documented in /sys/i386/isa/isa_8com.h # 8 * NS16450N, Selectable: irq 2,irq 3,irq 4,irq 5,irq 6,irq 7. options "COM_MULTIPORT" # Multiport support in sys/isa/sio.c but I haven't tried it with ppp yet, only slip, & haven't stressed it at hi speed basically the card works, but the '450s are soldered, so its maybe not the card for you.
