DW> RC>Yes, they've been mentioned for quite a while now.  I don't see
DW> RC>the need for one here, though.
DW> NP> Don't they have a 32k buffer and won't that assist one in d/l
DW> NP> and  u/ling????   *:-<)
DW> No, you are off by a factor of 1024... they have a 32 BYTE buffer...
DW> Buffers don't assist in down and uploading... I have a twin 1KB
DW>buffered  (1KB for upload and 1KB for download) Hayes ESP ][ card...
DW>you might  want to ask why the hell do I get such card if it is not
DW>helping me  downloading faster? Well... easy... Buffered cards and
DW>uarts helps to  relieve CPU of the stress of constantly checking for
DW>data in the UART,  incase there is going to be a data overrun (the
DW>buffer is full and  there is no way to store more date, so it
DW>overwrites the previous buffered  data)... this is usually seen in a
DW>multi-tasked OS... when the OS either  not well designed or under
DW>heavy load... I *CAN* use 16550a on my  motherboard with my OS/2...
DW> but I prefer to free some CPU time for other more important tasks...
DW>so I poped in that ESP ][ card... plus it is GREAT  for running high
DW>speed serial devices... if I can ever afford one... :)
Thanks Mr. Wei, I think I've learned a lot from your reply!!!!  I too 
look forward to a higher speed connection some day!!!!  *:-<)   Good 
Luck on you high speed connection!!!!   *:-<)
