Yes, I've had mine in use for years under FreeBSD current.

# Card Name:            Decision 8801.

# Comment:              8 Port Hardware documented in my /sys/i386/isa/isa_8com.h.JHS
#       8 * NS16450N, Selectable: irq 2,irq 3,irq 4,irq 5,irq 6,irq 7.
options "COM_MULTIPORT"         # Multiport support in sys/isa/sio.c

I bought mine in Munich for ~ 300DM, back when jkh was in the City too
(ie several years old price), only drawback is the 8 16450s are soldered,
not socketed.

I am mailing you (with no cc) my /sys/i386/isa/isa_8com.h.JHS
