If I run my telemate communications program and then run my djgpp-created async routines everything works fine and I can set the port at 115200... If I dont run the comm program first.. I seem to miss a hell of a lot of characters... Apparently I don't know how to activate this 16550 FIFO that telemate does... How many people have 16550 uarts? should i require one of those for people who use my package, shouyld I set the port at something like 38400 instead (will this get throughput just as good? the modem is only 28800 and I know of no other faster modems).. Is there any way to make my routines faster? Right now im using the standard wrappers for a protected mode interrupt routine... How much faster would it be to just gcc -S that routines into gas format and add an iret at the end instead of a ret and then just not use the wrappers.. is there anything else the wrappers do other than iret? Thanks, Sam
