I've been looking at implementing a utility to determine the
current baud rates of the serial ports.  I've come across
plenty of information on setting up the 8250 for a particular
rate, but as yet, I've been unable to find anything explaining
how to read the current settings.

Any chance that anyone out there knows of a way to do this ??
Please reply by E-mail, I'll be happy to post my findings if
anyone else is interested in the results.

Thanks in advance.
