We had one or two of them a while back, you're right
they won't work with FreeBSD right now.  I saw
it work with SCO, whatever that's worth.  If you're
really sold on a PCI serial card, check out
Stallion's, their card works with FreeBSD.  It also
supports up to 32 (maybe 64) ports off *one* pci slot.

If the driver isn't in -current, it's available
from ftp.stallion.com.  You can probably get more info
from Greg Ungerer <gerg@stallion.oz.au>.
