Rich is correct and I should have mentioned that to overcome the serial port problem.
Byterunner provides a good answer, I've used their product successfully and their support
was excellent. Byterunner is a bit expensive and I've only rarely seen used/surplus units
offered for sale.

Another choice is dual and quad serial adapters made by SIIG.
I've had total success with these and they can be found on Ebay at very low prices.


Both units come in PCI format and have drivers for all Windows OS's.


Obviously these choices only work with Desktop units and not laptops.
