I'm under the impression : that Linux can't go over 38400, and I have a V.34 modem (USR Courier). : (There IS a 16550 UART in the machine.) Apparently some folks are doing it... but to be on the safe side you could always get one of those Hayes ESP cards that features an onboard processor and 2Kb FIFOS. The interface offered to the system is that of a 16550 uart... other interfaces more efficient are possible but you would have to get the programming specs from hayes and do a special driver. -- Denis
