- I've heard rumors that MSD reports the 16450 as an 8250 UART.
-
- I've also heard (via the NAVAS faq) that it's possible for my 8250 to
- exceed 19200 bps using "well written software"
-
- Currently I use a 386 laptop with either an 8250 or a 16450. I believe
- it's an sx/33. In dos, the fastest throughput I've achieved is about
- 1600 Cps, sending and receiving .zip compressed files. I have a linelink
- 14.4 external modem. I also use an old version of Telix for dos as my
- commware.
-
- Given the above configuration, is there anyway I can approach the Holy
- Grail of 57,700 bps using my existing configuration? Is there a
- freeware/shareware package out there that will improve my throughput?
-
-
- Thanks in advance for your recommendations (even if they consist of "shut
- up!")
