This one seems to work OK as a 16550. I can run PPP through it at 38400 with no problems. It just doesn't seem to have the handshaking 100%. >The originial distributers know who they are!!

If you are having problems with a card/chips from Demon then please call me at the office and I'll sort something out. -- /\/\ark Turner Demon Systems / Demon Internet Home: mt@kram.org (PGP key available) 42 Hendon Lane, London Office: mark@demon.co.uk (+44 81 3490063) N3 1TT, England *** IP level dialup Internet connectivity for a tenner a month! ***
