- Get and install the shareware serial driver SIO.SYS (can be found at the usual
- sites, like hobbes.nmsu.edu). Even IBM recommends this driver as it is MUCH
- more efficient, defaults to hardware flow control (the default OS/2 driver
- uses XON/XOFF as the default), allows 115200 bps DTE speed, etc.
