I had previously requested that anyone who is running a good async
multiport board at reasonably high rates please let us all know
about it.  Several responses were posted -- thanks!!  I am happy
to say that I'm now using an ATvantage-X Computone 8-port board
on an ALR 386.  We've got 5 ports at 38.4kbps which *mostly* work.
If you've got big function-key sequences you're blasting at it
from a terminal it will not work properly above 19.2kbps.  However,
I tried the same setup on a Wyse-3216 and couldn't get it to
function right *ever*!
