Not if one is trying to find a cheap router for a SLIP/PPP line. A PCroute in a 8088 at 4.77Mhz did 38.4k with 16450's, but FreeBSD in a 80386 at 16MHz fails to keep up with 16550's at the same speed. It could be a tuning problem, though, I haven't had time to try earlier trigger for UARTS or larger serial buffers. -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@cs.hut.fi home +358-0-8031121 work -4513377 fax -4555276 riippu SN
