I've just installed a 16550 and tried to get windows to use it. If I turn
the FIFO on before I invoke Win 386 Enh, then use their terminal program,
the first char I type blows me back to the DOS prompt. If I have the FIFO
disabled the enter Win 386 Enh mode, then invoke the DOS icon, I find that
my programs to turn the FIFO on/off don't work. This seems to indicate that
the virtualization software for the com ports doesn't recognize the additional
capabilities of the 16550. Sigh.

I would dearly love to get the appropriate drivers et. al. to get this to
work. Does anyone out there have any idea on how to do this?
