Is there a 40-pin DIL 16550 to replace a 16450, and would it work?

I have from the days of my old PC-AT, a 16450-based IO card. It is too 
inefficient for the 14.4 Sportster and the 25MHz 386 board I'm running.

A while ago I'm sure I read that there was a replacement 16550 chip that would 
replace the '450 pin for pin. Is it worth pursuing? (PLEASE EMAIL ME if you 
can spare the advice).

Lots of love,
Matt.
