- I currently run my Renegade BBS under Windows 3.1 and a nifty little program
- called turbocomm for windows which allows Windows to use a 16550 UART chips
- 16bit FIFO and alows non standard Serial ports. I run 2 nodes, 1 dial in
- and 1 local without any problems whatsoever with a 14.4 DS/HST modem.
