- I was wondering if anyone knows how to configure Linux for use
- with high speed modems where for best performance the serial port
- should be locked to a baud rate higher than the connect baud
- rate. Actually this is even useful with 2400 baud modems which
- support error correction. Because the error correction process
- strips start and stop bits and "packetizes" the information,
- effective transfer speeds jump from about 230 cps to around 270
- cps. What is needed is a way of turning on hardware flow control
- between Linux and the modem. Did the patches that allowed for
- 16550 Uarts also include hardware flow control? I was under the
- impression that the author said the hardware flow control would
- be available for release 0.97.
