Not really. It includes a serial driver that supports PCI serial boards, but
the lack of any real standard for PCI serial hardware means that the only
boards supported by 5.0.7 are those for which the manufacturer offered the
information neccessary to get them working, namely the ones from Digi and
ConnectTech. Ideally you'd be able to add support for more boards just by
adding the neccessary information to the sio_pci_sup_brds[] array in
/etc/conf/pack.d/sio/space.c, but unfortunately for some boards there are
gotchas that are not accounted for by that data.
Hopefully this situation will be somewhat rectified in the future.
