It works (though I'm going out and buying a 16550 card tomorrow -- it's a 486/40, yet gets an annoyingly large number of silo overflows at 19200, even with newer drivers -- enough that NFS doesn't really work, though ftp does.) _Mark_ <eichin@athena.mit.edu> MIT Student Information Processing Board Cygnus Support <eichin@cygnus.com>
