- I wish this was my problem but it's not. My Courier is internal
- so it's unlikely I have broken FIFOs. But of course, to rule out any
- possibility I had already tried it with some rather depressing results.
- Lowering down the 16550 buffers doesn't seem to have any affect anywhere.
- I have nothing loaded besides what Win95 drags up by default, and this
- is a shared problem between Linux and Win95, but not with DOS. I've gone
- through as many modem web pages as I can and turned up with nothing. I
- even tried Win 3.1 COMxFIFO tricks, etc and got nothing. Could I
- possibly have a hardware defect?
