I've made little kernel module which enables high speed modes (230Kb and
460Kb) with VIA VT82C686* southbridge equipped motherboards. I've been using
module with ISDN-TA and haven't had any problems. If you want to try
module it's available at http://www.kati.fi/viahss/viahss-0.9.tar.gz.
Some brief documentation can be found at http://www.kati.fi/viahss/
(read this before using module).

This is my first try with kernel modules so you can consider yourself
warned. My huge test team (2 people) have tested module with both 686A and
686B chipsets and it seems to work. Module does same as SHSMOD
patches but doesn't require serial driver patching. So if you have ISDN-TA
and serial port limits it's speed give this module a try.

Module works with 2.4 kernels but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't
work with 2.2 kernels.
