I know we are talking about isdn adapters..but..
I've a hayes optima 288fm.. all hayes internal and pcmicia modems
(and their communication adapters/serial cards) have this special UART
chip tat looks like a 16550 but works 2x the speed, so giving 230kps
I wonder if the Hayes ESP adater comes in PCMCIA ??
