For sync connections, you can only use the W1 port on a 2eR or any port
(S1-S4) on an IRX.

The 386 runs at 33Mhz and it doesn't directly handle the i/o operations.
They are handled by other components in the PortMaster. We are running all
of our ports at 115.2k w/o any problems. In fact, our customers regularly
comment about how much faster we are than any other service that they have
used.
