I have a Telebit Trailblazer+ running on a hpp PORTS card, and it
runs fine, at 9600 baud.  I can't get it to work at ALL at 19.2K,
even though I managed to get a terminal running that fast, but
it still did drop characters..

Yes, the hpp PORTS card will work, and they're cheap.  You can
easily find them under $100, even in the back of Unix Today!

Ideally, you should go for the EPORTS (8 serial and no parallel)
but they cost a little more.  I've seen them on the net
in the $200-$300 range.

They're worth it.  As soon as I save a few $$$, I'll pick one
of those up so I can run my Telebit at full speed!!!
