I am using the USR internal (S100) modem board. It exists as a port address on the bus and as far as I can tell is not capable of producing INTerrupts when a character is ready -- which means I am stuck polling the board's status to see if a character is ready and may miss some if MSDOS takes too long in its CONSOLE output routine.
