whilst playing with a modem attached to the serial port on a ds5k/133.
the hardware/driver has obvious problems at speeds around and above
38.4k, and i'm wondering if it's possible to do something about it.

i can't find a 1984 intel microcontroller book (got volume 1, not
volume 2 ;-(, but the zilog book for the 8530 (which the intel chip
seems to be a clone of) indicates that it's possible to set the clock
mode to x1, and i'm wondering if anyone has tried this and if it had 
any effect ?

alternatively, might it be possible to restructure the driver to
improve throughput ?  perhaps i should just give up and buy an intel
pc (<-- joke, for the humour impaired) !
