Just FYI, STB Systems, Inc. of Richardson, Texas (214) 234-8750 makes an
excellent high-speed serial port adapter. They have variations including
two serial port and four serial port adapters. These are very reliable
products (I use them at home) and STB has great technical support.
They also make great video adapters and other products.
