Well, how about a little story...

I have a TurboColor running System 2.2   I use the SupraFax 14.4K with the 
hardware handshaking cable.  I originally had problems with IComm and 
TIP talking reliable at 38K.  I received transmit and receive errors on my 
modem with lousy recovery.  However, I had a temporary fix:  renice  
Yep, it worked.  Just giving it a higher priority was enough to get the data
when it interrupted.

However, I've upgraded my system RAM from 16Megs to 32Megs.  Now that my 
machine isn't having to swap/page memory, it doesn't miss those interrupts 
for the serial line.  Everything is peachy now.  :-)
