In response to a question, someone who shall remain nameless quoted
the entire TCP-Digest (47 lines). Even if I'm the only one that will mention
this, I'm sure there are others that feel the same way. Please take the time
to use your editor when composing a reply. Consider yourself lucky this time.
Had this happened on alt.tasteless, you would have been disemboweled and fed
to the pigeons.

Subject: 8250 or not 8250 that is the question
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Hi,
I've managed to scrounge various bits of kit, and have a working
386PC with mono monitor, 40MB hard disk, ne2000 card, IO
card, keyboard for stlg80 :-). I'm hoping to get it set up as a gateway
eventually. What I was wanting to know regards the serial chip on
the IO card. Is there anyway to tell whether it has an 8250 or a
16550 (I'd prefer the later). I was thinking that maybe there was
......
If you have windows or know someone who does, there is a DOS
utility in the windows directory called MSD.EXE. Run that
and look at the comm ports detail. It will report the type
of chip in use.

How do I get wampes to deliver incoming mail?
