unless you run setserial and tell it it is an 8250, doesn't it pick it up
as a 16450?

In any case, who still uses 8250 UARTs? I thought they made it a criminal
offense to posses such equipment in this day and age. ;-)   *duck*

But seriously, the last time I saw an 8250 UART was on a single-port
serial board I bought for my 10MHz 8088-based XT a good few years ago.

I'm running my fax off a Microcom 288s modem connected to a port on a
Cyclades 8-port intelligent multi-port serial card. Originally I was using
on-board serial ports (i think 16552 uarts) which worked like a charm as
well.
