- I am tranferring stuff to a amiga so laplink is not a soloution, the
- amiga can only handle 38k until I get the new surf ports, that will
- then go to 480k, so I will have to get the hayes esp card, I have
- onboard pci serial and ide, but this can be disabled in the bios, I
- have to check if I can disable individual comm ports, if not I will
- have to buy the dual card. After reading all the replies, I understand
- the limitation but after increasing the serial port speed to 230k in
- win95 device manager and it stays that way I get a speed improvement.
