Uh-oh...  Well, if you want to play with it...  FWIW, I'm disabling rio as
hopeless FPOS; if you feel masochistic, go ahead but keep in mind that its
handling of tty glue is severely b0rken.

Well, duh... It clutters _my_ logs.

 	  This is a driver for the Specialix RIO, a smart serial card which
 	  drives an outboard box that can support up to 128 ports.  Product
 	  information is at <http://www.perle.com/support/documentation.html#multiport>.
 	  There are both ISA and PCI versions.
+	  Note that while card might be smart, driver most certainly isn't.

Funniest comment line of the month ;-)

But if you have a need for something like this, the bad driver is better than none, and marked BROKEN it may actually get some attention.
