As an aside, I have had back luck running 38k4 from my 16550 to a USR
Sportster. (I get garbage when logging in via getty.) It works well
at 19200. DOS has no trouble with my setup at 38k4. Any ideas?
I was thinking that the sio drivers flake out after 19k2, but your
message seems to indicate that they will go much faster. Is it
possible my USR is flaking out? It worked well under DOS...
