Yes, I still have 2 cy cards with 24 ports total online, with 2 ports
actually used for serial console terminals, but the systems with themi
usually run old versions of FreeBSD so the patches haven't been tested
for a long time.  I need to check that they still pass the regression
tests last run on FreeBSD-~9 in 2014, after merging patches to newer
versions.
