I've seen many messages posted saying that the uport tty driver doesn't work at the higher speeds. I have V/AT 2.3.0 running on an 8MHz AT clone, and I'm running a news feed, and I sometimes send large files via UUCP. I'm using a Telebit trailblazer plus at 9600 baud, and I've sent and received files while doing other intensive tasks such as compiling, editing, etc. and I still get transmission rates of up to 800 chars./sec. which is quite good, and dropouts are quite rare. Also, I have been running two drives for some time with no problems. Its true I'm only using one serial port, but that's not unreasonable for an 8MHz 286. Microport isn't perfect, but I feel much of the criticism in this group is undeserved. Now the fact that they lost all records of my update contract is another story :-) ! -- Seth J.
