yes - for the stock drivers (so I've been told - again, I'm not using
the stock ASY drivers here on nstar.rn.com)

high speed modems - all of them locked at 19200 and 38400 baud with
complete hardware flow control (no XON-XOFF).  The multiport board
is a Computone Intelliport with a 10 mhz 80186.  I also have a mouse
on a dumb port using the stock ISC drivers..
