- That'll do, so long as you have a 16550 UART serial port and not the older
- 16450 type. (You need the buffered 16550 no matter what CPU you have,
- really.) If you don't have one, you'll need to buy a new multi-I/O card
- that has them (cheap).

- Or you can use this as a good excuse to buy a shiny new burst-cache Pentium
- 133 <grin>. (ArborWeb's server, connected to the 'net via PSI ISDN
- LAN-on-Demand, is a burst-cache P133. All cards are PCI, too. Extreme
- overkill, but modern hardware makes life *much* easier.)
