Bruce has reported that the early 16650's (TI parts AFAIK) have bugs in their hardware flowcontrol, however I believe that their 16550 emulation is adequately functional. Later parts (eg. the 16750) appear to work OK, but without a local supplier to obtain samples from I can't be certain. Startech's part is the ST16C550CP40; all you had to do was ask...
