- Not that I'm aware of. You might have difficulty with losing characters
- because the CPU doesn't operate fast enough, but that's about it. I'm
- running a null modem at 19.2 kbaud with an 8MHz Zip Chip and I don't
- have any problems losing characters!! I think a 9600 baud modem should
- work fine without a Zip Chip.
