| 156120 | 2003-06-29 08:20:00 | I happened to notice that my port settings are both set to low (receive and transmit), I am sure they were once set to high and maximum. I note that to achieve higher settings a 16550 UART is required. Is the UART located within my external Dynalink modem or is it a feature of the motherboard, which compared to the modem, is quite old. How do I find out what UART my system has? What is the advantage of having them at High/Max, do connections happen quicker? |

| 156121 | 2003-06-29 08:25:00 | The UART is on your motherboard, and unless you are running something of the age of a 286 it is likely to be a 16550 equivalent. The UART speed is the speed that the modem and the motherboard communicate, and provided its at least the speed of the dial-up you will not see any slow-down. |

| 156123 | 2003-06-29 08:41:00 | generally default seetings are fine unless you have had problems with internet connections and its been slowed down to help with that. i would set it back to default. |
