+For multiport cards the 
+.Nm flags
+keyword in the kernel configuration file determines which port of 
+your multiport card is the master device, and whether the 
+port is part of a multiport card. The master device is the port with 
+the shared interrupt register.
+All ports of a multiport card report
+pending interrupts using this single register.
+.Pp
+In the synopsis the 
+.Nm flags 0x401
+means that the 4th port (sio4) is the master
+device (so the MSB of the flags), and that the ports are part of a 
+multiport card (the LSB of the flags, actually only the LS 
+.Nm bit
+).
+F.e. if you have only two standard ports in addition to multiport
+card, this
+.Nm flags
+will be
+.Nm 0x201 .
+.Pp
+Which port is the master device depends on the card type. Consult
+the hardware documentation of your card.
+If you are shure, that your master device fully compatible with
+standard port, you can ommit
+.Nm flags
+field from master device description line.
+.Pp
+Serial ports controlled by the 
+.Nm sio
+driver can be used for both dialin and dialout. Use
