Re: PC: Serial Ports

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Tony,

2 and 4 port PCI serial cards are available for "reasonable"
money from
places like Action (www.action.com) and Netshop (www.netshop.co.uk)

I have a couple of 2-port ones that were about £30 each, and I also have a
4-port one which was about £70

Examples:

Titan 4 x 460Kbps ISA Serial Port Card, Man. Part No. 6000-91.
Cat No: 69-95-30  £34.99

Titan Dual 921Kbps PCI Serial Card, Man. Part No. 6000-70.
Cat No: 69-12-72  £33.99

Titan 8 Port 921Kbps PCI Serial Card, Man. Part No. 6000-72.
Cat No: 69-39-16  £127.99

Titan 4 Port 921Kbps PCI Serial Card, Man. Part No. 6000-71.
Cat No: 69-08-61  £78.99
