It's an IBM ThinkPad 350C, if that tells anyone anything.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were crappy UARTS, and you ain't
gotta tell ME 486/25 is slow (I run X on it, after all... ;), but c'mon;
this is *19,200* baud!!  I'd think even a 486/25 should be able to handle
that without puking this much.
