That's what the docs say.  I'll be damned if they do here! :^)  I killed a
tree or two printing the PDF file, played around for a couple of hours, and
couldn't get the things to FIND all three of my com ports.  I don't have the
Quatech board installed at the moment, so I was working with entirely legacy
motherboard mounted ports plus an additional single port card my modem is
hooked to. FWIW, SIO also correctly IDs the 16750 UART on that port. The
Quatech drivers couldn't *ever* find it, even when I told them exactly where
to look!

 LA> No contest for me which I'll be using

Nor for me!

Should I desire to shoot for the completely impossible (like increasing modem
connect speeds by changing com drivers) I may try the Quatech stuff again.

Nah... I don't think so!

 LA>  but for the completely penurious, it might be an option.

I'll use the primary definition! :^)
