The Win3 COMM.DRV communications driver is horrible.  There is a replacement
called TurboComm from
Bio-Engineering Research Labs 
2831 7th St.
Berkeley, CA  94710
415/540-8080

This driver is aware of the NS16550A[F]N buffered UART and will virtualize
it in enhanced mode.  It supports high speed interrupt driven comminucations.
I've used it to perform V.32bis/HST communications from both Win3 and DOS
programs in the box in the background while doing database, spreadsheet, 
compiles, etc. simultaneously without ever losing a character.

It cost me around $25, I think the price went up recently.

I've never called it, but their suposed to have a BBS at 415/548-0513
