- I'm running two V.32 modems on an AST 4-port that uses 16450's and I
- don't lose any characters (running stock 3.2.2 drivers). I know of
- people that did have problems and installed 16550's and it helped.
-
- You could also try using FAS under 3.2.4 which would improve performance
- even more, and give you full-duplex RTS/CTS flow control.
