(You will probably have to install it...) Make sure it is using the same IRQ as set by the BIOS, and is showing as a 16550 or better UART. It is supposed to turn on the FIFO on the UART as well. There is also the "low_latency" option, but that should not be needed to 19200 baud. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
