Hi,

I have my 3COM Impact IQ working with my 2.1.0 system. It's great, except for
one thing. With 64k, I can max out the capacity of the channel, e.g. I get
around 7.5KB/sec. However, with 128k, I only manage to get 9.5KB/sec or so,
better, but certainly a waste of two B channels, with which I have seen a 
router do 15KB/sec. I'm sure it's the serial port, since to get the most of
the 128k link, I need at least 160k on the serial port.

So, the $10000 question is, are there any affordable async cards that can
do 230.4k or better, and is supported by 2.1.0 or 2.1.5? I wouldn't even
mind getting the sio driver from current and putting that in, if that works.

Thanks,
Mike.
