I have had very good results from irqtune. I saw the original message
here and downloaded it and tried it. I run a 486 with a 16550 and was having
toruble with CRC errors. I tested a couple of transfers before using
irqtune, and confirmed that I was still getting regular and annoying
CRC errors and very slow transmissions. Then I plugged in irqtune and
set my modem serial port to highest priority. In all the file
transfers since then, no CRC errors at all. And I notice a small
increase in speed. Under Dos and when things go well in Linux, I get
about 1800 bps with my 14.4K modem. M=Now I am getting a regular
average of 1900 bps.

If irqtune turns out to be dead-chook stuff, I will be very puzzled.
It has definitely made a considerable difference to me, and I am very
grateful to whoever suggested it, and obviously to the author.
