I had the super serial card and didn't have a switchbox.  I have different
pieces of software to talk to different hosts. (America online at 2400 baud
for one and a xenix host at 9600 for another Note: currently set at 2400 also
because of dropping characters at a higher baud rate).

I believe the interrupts are enabled because the other switch position on the
Super serial card fails to work at all!  I have a ROM 01 gs.

Will the internal serial port handle the a higher baud rate then the
super serial card?
