Summary: Syncronous Serial Support for FreeBSD?
Keywords: serial
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

A local BBS is fanning out to adjacent towns, and was considering buying
several Netblazers to do it.  I suggested that he use 386s with FreeBSD
kernels, and a minimal disk.  He says that to do it he needs syncronous 
serial support.  What is that?  And can FreeBSD deliver?

Thanks in advance.
