First question: No, the standard SCO serial drivers do not take advantage
	        of the FIFO buffer in the NS16550AFN UART.
		
Second question: I took a brief stab at getting the FAS driver working
                 under SCO UNIX 3.2.1. I had no success. I hasten to add
                 I am not an expert at these matters. If anyone was able to
		 get this driver working under SCO's Unix, I would
		 love to hear about it.
