- I know that this mas been asked before, but I am looking for a good,
- reliable 14400 modem, and I was wondering what everyone thought about
- which one is the best. The main ones I have been looking at are
- Supra, Boca, and Zoom. I have heard good and bad about all of them. I
- am having some problems getting a clear description of what exactly the
- function of the UART chip is. Some people say that you don't need it
- unless you have an internal modem, some say otherwise. Could someone
- please explain what exactly this chip does, and what the advantage
- of having the 16550 over the 16450 is (also what is the equivalent of
- Rockwell's 16460?). Any opinions or responses are greately appreciated.

- Thanx,
