Appendix DAbout the COM Port Accelerator*The Microkey Switchboard7 Comm Port Accelerator, when installed
on a PC with a 16550 UART-based serial port, will provide a reliable
and consistent throughput of 115 Kbps to your Netopia ISDN
Modem. For Windows 3.1 and 3.11 users wishing to achieve even
higher serial port speeds, Switchboard7 will reliably provide 230
Kbps throughput when a 16650 UART-based serial COM port is
present.
Microkey Communications Systems, Inc., a Vancouver, BC based
software vendor specializes in the area of data communications.
Microkey has developed a family of applications that leverage the
untapped potential of ISDN Customer Premise Equipment.
Microkey recognized the importance of providing enhanced serial
port performance for the majority of users who wish to use serially
attached, high-speed communication devices. The Windows device
drivers, and device drivers from other third parties, are not capable
of sustaining a high enough throughput to consistently drive these
external devices at their maximum performance levels.
The Switchboard is comprised of three components:
s7comm.drv replaces comm.drv
s7vdc.386 replaces *vdc(vcd.386)
s7combuf.386 replaces *commbuf(commbuf.386)
