Summary:
The following is a description of the COMxI digiboard driver. 

Solution:
The comxi driver support the DigiBoard COM4i serial communication board. The board memory address, I/O port address and interrupt number are set with jumpers on the board. The possible memory start addresses are 0xc000, 0xc800, 0xd000 and 0xd800. They use 32K of memory. The possible I/O ports numbers are 0x100, 0x110, 0x120, 0x200, 0x220, 0x300 and 0x320. The possible interrupt numbers are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 15.

Data bits: 7 or 8
Stop bits: 1 or 2
Parity: 0, 1 or 2 (for none, odd and even parity)
Special Opt: -h Use DTR (data-terminal-ready) and RTS (request-to-send) signal for reception flow control, monitor CTS (clear-to-send) and DSR (data-set-ready) signal for output flow control.
-r Raise DTR only when transmitting.
-t Raise RTS only when transmitting.
-i String Dial modem string. This string is sent whenever the port is initialised. Special characters are
'~' delay for 500 milliseconds
'~{60}' delay for 30 (500*60) seconds.
'\M' send carriage return
