The NatSemi chip in question pretends to be a 16550 when you first start it up. It does however have the capacity to do MIR and FIR (including framing) if you flip it into the right mode. This requires a specialised driver though. I don't know of much out there using MIR or FIR in the PDA/phone world though. -- Benno Rice benno@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
