Nope, when I have it set at 115200 is the highest I have been setting 
it, And I get 100's of the errors. I have lowered it to 56700, and I 
still get errors just not as bad. I don't want to comprimise my modem 
speed, How can things be re-coded, to stop the interrupt-level buffer 
overflows?
Thanks :)
