- I've done it!! I've done it!! <dance, dance>
-
- I went out and dropped way too much money on a serial port with a 16550
- on board, and mwcbbs doesn't give me lost packets at 9600 baud any more.
- I'm getting transfer rates of 700-750 Bps, a distinct improvement over
- the 400 or so I'd been getting at 4800 baud.
-
- So, yes, 16550s seem to solve certain problems (though I still can't
- download using zmodem at 9600, but I'll talk to someone at the system
- I'm trying to download from about that).
