I my case, I was able to get the X5 update to work.  I am running a 20 Mhz
386 Micro Channel machine with a Telebit Tralblazer Plus plugged into the
serial port.  This machine uses a 16550 UART so the FIFO gets used.

I now have the modem set to 19200 and see effective transfer rates of
1100 chars/sec on occasion.  I have not seen any problems with spurious
signals.  Incoming doesn't seem to be having any problems either though that
has not been tested as thoroughly.

I am using acu0 for outgoing, ttyd0 for incoming and am using getty, not
uugetty for incoming.  

At least someone isn't flaming ISC for this update.
