30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm umct
33.Nd Magic Control Technology USB-RS232 converter driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following lines in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device usb"
40.Cd "device ucom"
41.Cd "device umct"
42.Ed
43.Pp
44Alternatively, to load the driver as a
45module at boot time, place the following line in
46.Xr loader.conf 5 :
47.Bd -literal -offset indent
48umct_load="YES"
49.Ed
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Nm
53driver provides support for USB to RS-232 converters based on the Magic
54Control Technology USB-232 design.
55These devices support most of the
56standard RS-232 features including baud rates ranging from 300 to 115200
57bits per second.
58However, neither hardware nor software flow control
59seems to be supported.
60.Pp
61Access to devices under this driver is via the
62.Xr ucom 4
63framework and device nodes.
