I assume you are using their driver in this case. You can also use the standard drivers, although that must cost you something in either features or performance.

Yep, a sticker on the bottom says Maxi Switch, Assembled in Mexico dated 10-91. Thats when I bought this PC, in 10/91, so they must have shipped it in a hurry. I have to say this sucker, keyboard and PC has many, many miles on it, and has been solid as a rock and just as important, I have zero speed issues with it. I run a Pentium 133 at work with WIN/95 on it, and there is not enough of a difference for 99% of what I do to make me want another one (too much).

If so, how do I cure I guess that you could get a UART buffer overrun, but not likely on OS/2, as the whole UART 16 byte buffer is used rather than the 2 byte in Windows. The UART can take a very high data rate, something lie 200Kb/s. Ensure that it is a 16550a UART, and not a 16450, which is unbuffered.

Are you sure thats all you did? I tried it here and nothing changed. Windows netscape was still unable to create a socket(network down).
