Why didn't you just get a new serial board with the 16550A UART?

  It's been, many years...IIR the serial port was built into the motherboard.

    He's saying get an _extra_ serial board (put it into an ISA slot) that has the 16550 on it. Back then, this was a common way to get around what you're talking about.

      Yes, he needs to go back in time and commit nerd seppuku. This is intolerable.

      Oh yes. Right. I had forgotten about those. I may have just thought it was simpler to just get an internal modem. Who knows?
