I personally like what the Alpha port does here, /dev/ttyC[0-n] for 
com(4).

Perhaps you could add some text to the hp300-specific section of the 
release notes noting the major change for the APCI serial ports, and 
the name change in general?

Perhaps we should rename the DCM serial ports to /dev/ttyM[0-n]?  Do 
you have a DCM card?  Would you like one?  I could probably send you a 
DCL card, as well (we don't even have a driver for that one yet :-)
