I only have a 16550a and after ome manual fine tuning I managed to make my 3rd 16550a port accesible from windows using the ESP drivers. However, when I downloaded files the downloading would often stop for a few (10-20) seconds then proceed again. Zmodem registered no transfer errors. Has anyone succedded installing this driver to drive a 16550a (no ESP) port?
