- I die to surf on the Net with my aged 386 notebook ...
- only my Trumpet Winsock installation guide says I
- need a UART Serial Port Chip coded 16550, and my notebook only has
- a 8250 which seems to be an unbuffered version.
-
- I think my USRobotics Sportster 28.8 has an I/O-Buffer
- anyway, so is there no way round this damn chip? (Must not
- be a highspeed link, any link at all would do!)
-
- Please do say something, can┤t bear Winsocks silence any
- longer!
