This driver supports the SDL Communications RISCom/N2 ISA cards that is

based on the HD64570 chip. Both the 1 and 2 port cards is supported.

Line speeds of up to 2Mbps is possible. At this speed about 95% of the
bandwidth is usable with 486DX processors.

The standard FreeBSD sppp code is used for the link level layer. The
default protocol used is PPP. The Cisco HDLC protocol can be used by
adding "link2" to the ifconfig line in /etc/sysconfig or where ever
ifconfig is run.

At the moment only the X.21 interface is tested. The others may need
tweaks to the clock selection code.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm sr
+driver supports the RISCom/N2 ISA cards that is based on the
+HD64570 chip.
+.Pp
+Line speeds of up to 2Mbps is possible. At this speed about 95% of the
+bandwidth is usable with 486DX processors.
+.Pp
+The standard FreeBSD sppp code is used for the link level layer. The
+default protocol used is PPP. The Cisco HDLC protocol can be used by
+adding
+.Nm link2
+to
+.Nm ifconfig.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm flags
+field is optional. If it isn't specified, the driver will
+assume the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -hang -offset indent
+.It "The card has 2 ports."
+.It "The clock for the serial ports is external and the transmitter uses"
+the same clock as the receiver.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm flags
+are a bit field and can be used to force a different
+behaviour than the default.
+.Pp
+.Bl -hang -offset indent
+.It Em 0x01
+The card has only one port.
+.It Em 0x10
+Use sepperate external clocks for transmit and receive on port 0.
+.It Em 0x40
+Use sepperate external clocks for transmit and receive on port 1.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Sh NUMBERING
+Only one line for each card is needed in the kernel configuration file.
+The first card's ports will be installed from sr0. The numbering of the
+next card will continue where the first stopped, eg. if the first card
+is a two port card it will use sr0 and sr1. The next card will then
+start at sr2.
+.Pp
+The card only supports IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 15.
+.Pp
+The iomem area is a 16Kb block and must start at a 16Kb boundary.
+.Pp
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "sr%d: Warning illegal interrupt %d."
+The card cannot use the specified interrupt. Choose a different one.

+.Sh BUGS
+At the moment only the X.21 interface is tested. The others
+may need tweaks to the clock selection code.
+.Pp
+The code can probably stand some optimizing.
+.Pp
+There must be lots because this code is still very green. Please report
