If you communicate with "standard" equipment, then you are communicating with "existing designs," aren't you?

Of course I am. My design, however, is not "existing" but a NEW design. I do not have illusions of grandeur and start redesigning the PC because I know i can do it better with the belief that I am to revolutionize the PC industry.

The T3 backbone doesn't talk at 9600 baud
neither does T1 or T10 and I have no intention of connecting a '51 directly to either, the protocol overhead would kill it. Now oddly enough the interfaces to these trunks run 9600 multiples, isn't that amazing.

What standard equipment do you use that talks at 460 Kbps? How does your PC async port figure into that?
just fine, thanks. A matter of the correct daughterboard.

If you're talking in async protocol, it's still going to waste two bits out of every ten or three out of every eleven bits you use per character. That's not what I'd call efficient.
I call it super efficient accepting A fact instead of babbeling about how it "could" be different.

NOW ANSWER THIS OR SHUT UP, I have asked it twice already:
What good does it do to have a fantastic piece of equipment if it can not communicate with what it is supposes to communicate with such as a PC
