- The Service Pack adds a few new options for configuring Dos sessions: the
- first one is Com_Direct_Access. Until now, Dos programs that manage a
- 16550's buffers directly, like Procomm Plus, couldn't; OS/2 got in the way.
- I had to use the Mode command's buffers=on option in order to profit from
- my 16550. My question: does the Com_Direct_Access option mean I can
- forget about using Mode with buffers=on and just rely on Procomm to manage
- the 16550? If so, are there any advantages to letting OS/2 do the job
- instead of Procomm?
