That is good to hear Gene.  I will pass your numbers on to Stephen.

We are noticing another worrysome problem under Windows though.  Any I/O is
getting trapped by the OS and causing sever delays.  I don't have the number
handy but I now know why 9600 baud seems to be about as good as most Windows
comm programs can do.  Does anyone out there know how to convince Windows or
the DPMI driver that I/O to specific ports does not need to be trapped?  I
know there are some flags that can be set in the segment descriptor table, but
there doesn't seem to be any clean way to get at them.  Does anyone have any
experience in doing this?
