The 98628A is a buffered EIA RS-232C (CCITT V.28) communications inter-
face. It has one port with full modem control.
Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates; 0,
50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200.
An optional argument _\bf_\bl_\ba_\bg_\bs may be set to 1 if the line should be treated
as hard-wired with carrier always present, or to 0 if modem control is
desired.
Use HP cable "98626 & 98628 opts.002, RS232-C DCE CABLE, 5061-4216" to
attach non-modem devices. Use HP cable "98626 & 98628 opts.001, RS232-C
DTE CABLE, 5061-4215" to attach modems.
The 98628A has a 256 byte input silo and a 256 output silo. Input inter-
rupts happen on a per character basis.
The high water and low water marks in the kernel tty routines are com-
pletely inappropriate for a device like this with a large input buffer.
Don't use tandem mode if possible. A fast system can handle input at
19.2K baud without receive overflow.
For output to devices that make heavy use of XON/XOFF a write size of
less then 256 will improve performance marginally.

Breaks received at a faster rate then 1 break every second will be recog-
nized as a single break.
Console use is not supported.
The RS-422/423/499, MTS-DSN/DL modes of the card are not supported.
