+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ucom
+.Nd USB tty support
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device ucom"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ucom_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver attaches to USB modems, serial ports, and other devices that need
+to look like a tty.
+The
+.Nm
+driver shows a behavior like a
+.Xr tty 4 .
+This means that normal programs such as
+.Xr tip 1
+or
+.Xr pppd 8
+can be used to access the device.
+.Pp
+The
+.Va portno
+locater can be used to decide which port to use for devices that have
+multiple external ports.
+.Sh BUGS
+Prior to
+.Fx 6.0
+.Nm
+created
+.Pa /dev/ucom?
+rather than the uniform device names created today.
+Old scripts must be adjusted accordingly.
+.Sh FILES
