- Hi,
- I saw an ad selling a 28.8 Rockwell internal
- modem for $100. But it deosnt have a 16550 chip in it.
- It does software emulation! I have a Supra 14.4i right now
- that uses the 16450 to emulate the 16550 too! Is it a
- good deal to save on it? Or maybe, it really deosn't matter!
- Does anyone have any opinion. FYI, I have a 486-33DX only.
- Thanks...please email your comments and help.
- thanks
