That could be better worded. A 16450 can easily handle 115,200 bps, and so could an 8250. The advabntage offered by the 16550 isn't "UART speed", as such, but the buffering.

Well, that is what I have. I have A-F drives on this, and it it a 286?!?!? The modem helps to furthur unbalance the system. Who ever heard of a 286, MONO, with a 33.6.
