I don't know--which is why I am asking.

However, one might make the following observation;

           All your internet stuff goes through the COM port, and all the
           tcpip stuff requires handshaking and date/time confirmation
           as part of the IP protocol.

And ask the following question;

          Does the driver just pass all this stuff through without reading
          it in any way, or does it read part of it for any reason, and
          therefore be vulnerable to failure?
