- Norm,
-
- I think that you should seriously consider trying the latest SIO/VSIO
- drivers, *especially* if you use DOS/WIN Comm pgms. They worked wonders
- for me. With them, I now get better performance at 14.4bps, and with
- *no tweaking* of the DOS settings (that's right, I can just use the default
- DOS settings) than I got at 2400bps using the OS/2 COM/VCOM drivers,
- at all possible combinations of DOS settings.

- Cheers,
