Can this work with just a 16550a or does it need a full ESP interface?

I only have a 16550a and after ome manual fine tuning I managed to make
my 3rd 16550a port accesible from windows using the ESP drivers.
However, when I downloaded files the downloading would often stop for
a few (10-20) seconds then proceed again. Zmodem registered no transfer errors.

Has anyone succedded installing this driver to drive a 16550a (no ESP) port?
