Let's guess, your modem doesn't have a 'real' 16550 on it, but instead one
of those _STUPID_ UART emulations.

In the sioproble() function, uncomment all the changes you made (that's
not the solution).  At each of the EXTRA DELAY comments, insert a line
reading DELAY(5000);

This may help your bogus modem to catch up.  The real solution is to sell
it to some Windows-using sucker and buy a real modem.
