Just received TurboCom and I am impressed.

TurboCom supports three modes and many features which may
be set for each of the comm ports in your machine.  the 
three categories of comm ports are as follows:

8250/8250-B
8250A/16450
16550

I am currently using it on a 8250A at 9600 baud which before
was utterly unusable.  Now while there are still some UART 
errors, they are much more infrequent and only show themselves
during long continuous data transfers.  Editing with emacs is
 not a problem.  The machine is a 12MHz 286 with ArcNet cards.
The UART errors occur only when transfering a file to the 
network server.


It comes from Bio-Engineering Research Labs.  (415) 540-8080.
71521.760@compuserve.com

I can't wait to get home to try it on my 386 with a 16550.
