[comp.unix.xenix] FAS anybody?

Has anybody looked into porting the FAS async driver to SCO XENIX 386?
I'm thinking about chucking my dumb com cards and moving to a dumb 16550
multi-port card.  If anybody has looked into this (or even better yet,
brought it up!) I'd be interested in hearing what you've found out.

I'd also be interested if anybody has benchmarked a dumb 16550 card against
an intelligent one.  My gut feel is that a smart card probably isn't worth
it if you've got a good driver (and good UARTs), but I don't have any
data to back this up.
