By my tests it needed ~40% of the CPU's time to maintain a 9600bps connection under OS/2 2.0. 2) The DOS FUELDOS utility was notorious for causing unreliable serial comms on the 750. It doesn't have to be displaying anything, it just has to be loaded in memory (this may happen even if you run Win3.1) to mess things up. -- John H.
