"Fast Serial Port"

I already have the Ioblix card in my A4000 which is also fitted with a
Cybervision64 Graphics Card and believe me it's fast enough, well for
now anyway:-)
When you install the Ioblix get the version 37.5 device driver's from
somewhere as I found the newer one's tended to drop the carrier, I'll
try and have a look at Active's Homepage tonight to see if there are
any newer ones available.
Connected to the Ioblix is my Pace 56k external Modem and TBH I think
it's better than surfing the net on a PC, I have set up a 1132 x 832
screen mode which although it's interlace you can hardly notice it.
On this screen I run Voyager 2.96, STRICQ 0.1295, and AmIRC, it's just
what people need, you can see everything all on the same screen, I use
Microdot II which is on Workbench Screen, but it send's a message to
AmIRC when it's finished downloading Mail:-)
Hope this help's ??
Bye
