I'm having an idea that may be considered heresy.  I have a couple extra line relay assemblies.  Looks like there's enough open space on the plate to mount a DE9 connector for the RS232.

If Jack didn't put one there, it didn't need one. LOL
 
FWIW, I have been running one like that for about 10-12 years 24/7 with no problems.

Shoudnt there be a snubber diode in line with the relay- serial port?

John,
 
A while back someone (and I cannot remember whom, because he deserves the credit.) Mentioned that a polar relay can be driven directly by an RS-232 output. Think about it, it is really a polar signal.
 
I am kicking myself because I never thought of something so obvious.
