[Dxbase] CW Speeds

I have just switched to a new Dell Dimension E310 computer.  I purchased 
a PCI LPT port card since the computer does not have a LPT port.  I got 
DXBase to send CW through the new port, but I have discovered a problem 
with the speed.  The speed DXBase says is not the speed that is sent.  I 
constructed a table of the speeds.

DXBase speed / Actual Speed
20 / 20
22 / 20
24 / 20
26 / 26
28 / 26
30 / 26
32 / 26
34 / 26
36 / 26
38 / 38
40 / 38

It appears that the speed is constant for a portion of the adjustable 
range, and then suddenly jumps to the correct speed and holds until 
another jump is made.

Any seen this behavior before?
