Ah, yes - this brings back memories of playing serial based LAN matches with my brother. I had a 486-SX 25 with 16550 UART (on board) whereas he had a whizzbang 486-DX2 66 with 16450 UART on an expansion board - my computer would struggle to render the game but it was always his end that pulled the match down because its serial just could not keep up!
