I read that hayes has a high-performance serial board that has two ports on it,
and 4k worth of buffers.  I know I've seen a review saying that it has Windows
drivers that will use the buffers, and I believe that it also has OS/2 drivers.

I don't have any real information on it, and I seem to remember that it was 
more expensive than a simple uart based serial port, but the fact that it 
has large buffers and a controller on-board makes it ideal for high speed
transfers uder a multi-tasking OS. 

I'd suggest calling hayes and finding out about it (and the drivers) if you
are interested.
