Special note -transmission speeds If your COM port is fitted with an 8250 UART chip, you may find that selecting 19,200 bps as the speed for transmission of data between the fax machine and the PC will cause Hardware overrun or Foreground activity caused operation to fail errors. If you do, then you should check that no power or screen savers are active on the PC running the device driver or consider updating your COM port hardware to a 16550 UART chip which has a greater capacity to cope with speed.
