  38.4 kbaud. Hmmm, I bet you drop characters at that speed. You might
  want to use an inteligent controler like a digiport board or something.
  If you use a dumb com port get a 16550 and enable the FIFO.

  I really have a hard time understanding the reason why you want to run
  it at 38.4kbuad. Actually there is no such thing. So if the modem is
  running 9600bps uncompressed data and you connect your serial port
  and lock it 19200 it should fill any buffer on the HST fast enough.
  That is if the HST has a buffer.

  I'd be interested once you got it going what these figures are:

  Baudrate compter->Modem     Char/Per/Sec/                
  -------------------------+--------------
   9600                    |
   19200                   |
   34.2k                   |

  Lock the interface speed.
