Hmmm ... If the program _doesn't_ mess around with the
UART registers, it _can't_ use anything higher than 19k2.
If it _does_ mess around with them, then it will bypass X00
anyway. So, how can X00 help solve the "I can't get more
than 19200 baud" problem? I know there has been lots of
discussion involving lots of software, etc. that I'm unfamiliar
with, but I thought the original problem was an inability to
go beyond 19k2. Perhaps the software in question can be
configured to _either_ use Int 14h to set baud rate or mess
around with the UART registers. In that case, it needs to be
configured to do the latter, because AFAIK, Int 14h doesn't
support > 19200 baud (or 9600 for XT). Or have I missed
something here ... ?

Hmmm ... If the program _doesn't_ mess around

UART registers, it _can't_ use anything higher
than 19k2.
If it _does_ mess around with them, then it will
bypass X00
anyway. So, how can X00 help solve the
"I can't get more
than 19200 baud" problem? I know there
has been lots of
discussion involving lots of software, etc. that
I'm unfamiliar
with, but I thought the original problem was an
inability to
go beyond 19k2. Perhaps the software in question
can be
configured to _either_ use Int 14h to set baud
rate or mess
around with the UART registers. In that case, it
needs to be
configured to do the latter, because AFAIK, Int
14h doesn't

That's *why* I suggested
X00. If the progran is using Int 14 services 
as opposed to directly
accessing the UART, then X00 will *ignore the 
command to change the
baud rate and leave it at what it was "locked"

at.
