About the COM Port Accelerator

The Microkey Switchboard
7
Comm Por t Accelerator, when installed
on a PC with a 16550 UART-based serial por t, 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 por t speeds, Switchboard
7
will reliably provide 230
Kbps throughput when a 16650 UART-based serial COM por t 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 impor tance of providing enhanced serial
por t per formance 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 par ties, are not capable
of sustaining a high enough throughput to consistently drive these
external devices at their maximum per formance levels.
The Switchboard is comprised of three components:
s7comm.dr v replaces comm.dr v
s7vdc.386 replaces *vdc(vcd.386)
s7combuf.386 replaces *commbuf(commbuf.386)
