They are nice little cards, but be sure to buy their cables, unless you have
a supply of ten-pin RJ-45 connectors (I didn't. :)  I also found that their
cables come two to a box (which isn't mentioned on their Web page) so upon
receiving my six boxes of cables, I found I had twice as many as I need.
C'est la vie.

This is what I use (I have on-board ports at sio0 and sio1, so I start
numbering at 2):

# devices for Boca 6-port board
device          sio2    at isa? port "0x220" tty flags 0x785 
device          sio3    at isa? port "0x228" tty flags 0x785
device          sio4    at isa? port "0x240" tty flags 0x785
device          sio5    at isa? port "0x248" tty flags 0x785
device          sio6    at isa? port "0x260" tty flags 0x785
device          sio7    at isa? port "0x268" tty flags 0x785 irq 5 vector siointr

options         COM_MULTIPORT           #code for some cards with shared IRQs
