Here is a config snippet from a machine with digiboard PC/8 with 16550.  It
has 8 modems connected to these 8 lines, and they work just great.
Don't forget to add options "COM_MULTIPORT" or it won't work very well!

device          sio4    at isa? port 0x100 tty flags 0xb05
device          sio5    at isa? port 0x108 tty flags 0xb05
device          sio6    at isa? port 0x110 tty flags 0xb05
device          sio7    at isa? port 0x118 tty flags 0xb05
device          sio8    at isa? port 0x120 tty flags 0xb05
device          sio9    at isa? port 0x128 tty flags 0xb05
device          sio10   at isa? port 0x130 tty flags 0xb05
device          sio11   at isa? port 0x138 tty flags 0xb05 irq 9 vector siointr

The trick in setting this up is that the MSB of the flags represent the last
SIO port, in this case 11 so flags are 0xb05.

Good luck!
