- I was just wondering if any modem manufactures (or anyone) would still be
- putting 16550 chips on their internal modems. The reason I ask this is that
- I am planning on purchasing an internal 14.4kbs modem and plan to use it with
- both OS/2 2.0 and Windows 3.1. As I understand, the 16550 is defective and
- the chip to have is the 16550AFN. Is this correct? If so, do I need to make
- absolutely sure that I am getting an "AFN" chip, or am I safe with any modem
- which claims to have a 16550?
-
- Thanks for any help.
