- I get the same stuff if I turn off buffering on the uart (which I have done
- sometimes by accident). With buffering on, 57600 baud is no problem.
- I'm taking wild guesses based on the above, but it looks like you have an
- external modem hooked to a serial port ?
- If so, you need to upgrade to a buffered serial chip or board. You *may* be
- able to change just the chip.
- Give us a little more detail.

- Whats the number of the buffered uart ? 1640something isn't it ?
