The 'U' refers to the unlimited license for serial drivers. The 'L' refers
to a limitation on the number of installable serial drivers.

The problem with the serial port at 9600 baud is strange. 'qiclab' was busy
running...er..msdos (ok I said it) for a week, and I was ~150 cmds
behind from my news feed. I got permission to cart my '386 down to the VAX
room, and proceeded to get over 6 megs of news and mail in the next couple
hours. No 'double panics' or anything. Under what conditions were your
9600 baud problems occurring? It would be nice to get these double panic
causes nailed down. Thanks in advance.
