- I have a USR Courier Dual Standard (14.4K HST/V.32/V.42bis) modem
- and a 16450 UART on my I/O card. I have had zero problems under
- Windows, even when downloading at full speed while compiling
- a large program in the background. I think it helps that the modem
- has large (3.5K) send and (2K) receive buffers.
