- The critical information I want is the CURRENT Transmit and Receive
- Speed. Try to get that information from your 1 LED. The Supra's
- 2 Digit LCD has prooven very useful to me. It beats droping down into
- command mode to get the information, assuming that you can.

- Again, I'm not saying they are the best, mainstream saves me
- headaches. Imagine if such a bug poped up in the Cyrix, would there
- be all the software workarounds that were put in place. If a
- mainstream component fails, the problem will be analyzed to death
- and if a solution is possible it will be found.
-
- Yes the S3 COM port conflict is a pain, but everyone knows about
- it and there are well documented workarounds.
-
- Almost all components have flaws, if you stick with mainstream
- they will most likely get worked around the quickest.
