Hello Jim - 

CA>> People think the 8250s and 16450s are less capable than
CA>> they are. From my testing 57600 is not a problem for
CA>> either of them. 

JH> FWIW, here's what my book (Upgrading and Repairing PC's,
JH> 12th Edition) had to say about those - - 

JH> "The 8250B chip might work in an AT under DOS, but it does
JH> not run properly at 9600bps because, like all 8250's, it
JH> has no transmit/receive buffer." 

Do you have _any_ personal experiences that corroborate this
drivel? 

I think just about anyone here knows your book is a bunch of
nonsense and I have personally tested them in the manner I have
stated with the results I have given. 

You need to get a better book or actually test some of these
things yourself.
