I am trying to track down a problem in a comm program which
makes heavy use of the serial ports.  The program runs fine
on the IBM family, Compaq, etc. but fails pretty miserably
on the Wang PC with the IBM/XT emulation card in it.

The problems I have noticed are:
  1)framing errors detected at remote end if I use any baud
    rate other than 9600.
  2)inability to receive (using interrupts) while transmitting

Does anyone have any information on how compatible this
beast really is with an IBM PC in the area of serial port
emulation?  Is there technical documentation describing the
XT emulation option and known restrictions?
