Explain that to the people that get great performance on u3g, which had big 
troubles using ubsa (the same problems you are seeing; me for one). So I am 
pretty sure I am right.

Second: I've had reports of E220 working and the same device not working and 
choking on 'AT' on the second channel. It is most definitely a buffering 
issue. Perhaps the buffers are not properly configured, but making them 
larger or smaller does not change the symptoms in any case for these 
people.

Would you know of a serial device using tty layer code with high speed 
serial links that I could look at to see what could be wrong in either u3g 
and/or ucom?

Thanks.

Nick
