As has already been pointed out, com drivers don't enter into the
protocol/speed negotiation at all.  It just isn't possible.

If there is an advantage to the Quatech drivers (if I could get them to work,
I'd find out) over the stock Warp 4 drivers, then that advantage would be
available even *without* Quatech hardware.  I assume that support for "legacy" 
onboard COM ports was necessary so one could use the two now-standard
motherboard com ports in addition to one of Quatech's multi-port cards.  Thus, 
for some people, there *may be* some utility.

In any case,I'm not saying folks should not try/use/etc. the Quatech drivers.
All I'm saying is that it will not perform miracles as has been suggested.
