I just noticed that on bootup I am getting the following messages:

Configuring serial ports..../dev/cua2, Line 2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 3
        Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
        Flags: spd_hi skip_test

Does anyone know what the "close delay: 50" and "divisor: 0" mean?

I am invoking this from rc.serial with the following lines:

/bin/setserial /dev/cua2 uart 16550A port 0x3e8 irq 3 spd_hi
/bin/setserial -a /dev/cua2

and port cua2 is my 14.4 USR Sportster modem.
