	Can anyone provide information on how to write a communications
	application that will support the 16550A?

	The reason I am asking, is because someone had said in a 
	previous article that you can use the 16550A with "the
	appropriate communications software"

  The easiest way I now to support the use of FIFO's is to use a fossil
driver, such as X00.SYS.  They usually have an option to use FIFOs.  Of
course, if you were writting your own communication routines then you would
need to find the code to turn it on some where.  I've never seen that.  Its
always been easier for me to implement fossil drivers to handle to hard
work and let me do the easy stuff [grin].
