Unfortunately, all of that is moot for me.  My ISP won't connect at anything 
greater than 38400.  At the higher baud rates (115200, 57600) we do not get a 
true connection.  SIO must be locked at 38400 in order for the connection to 
made.  Otherwise, I get all kinds of errors and the system locks up.
