It worked well under DOS... I have a cheap 16450 card, and I run PPP all the time at 38400 to a USR Sportster without any problems. I would run at 57600, except the Sparc at the other end won't go any faster than 38400, so it seems pointless to crank up the baud rate on the FreeBSD end. - Gene Stark
