People,

	I would appreciate an answer to the following,

     A.	I have a Windows Communications Package that can
	access a total of up to 2 Async. Serial Ports (this
	is assuming you do not use the mouse).
    
     B. I have Digiboards Multiport Board for OS/2 with
	16 ports.


     Q.	Can the same Windows Communications Application, running
	under OS/2 2.0 access all 16 ports ?

     Q.	Will the performance of the Windows application be 
	better than on an equivalent machine running DOS/Windows ?
	(i am aware that DLL interfacing reduces the performance,
	but the question is how much compared to Windows under
	DOS?)

	Thanks in advance for any help.

	Regards |(8>
