Yeah. These packages and the source are in the UnixNPI tarball:

I don't think the latest version of UnixNPI use that file anymore. Instead,
the -s command-line option specifies the speed, like this:
$ unixnpi -s 57600 -d /dev/ttyS0 file_to_install.pkg

Also now a command-line option, -d. See my example above.
