  I stand corrected, I poked around a bit and in asy.h thier is defines
for the fifo on the 16550. On ESIX it's enabled every 8 characters.
I was thinking about what you said about the comport not working 
properly under vpix at 38400. I seem to have problems anywhere > 9600.
I wonder if vpix uses the fifo on the 16550 or if thier is any dos
software that would use it to help soulve this problem.
