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