In the past, I used numerous SIIG PCI RS-232 cards since they worked
well with Linux (had real 16550A UARTs).  But their web pages no longer
list Linux drivers!  :-(

So a quick search turned up some PCI RS-232 cards including a few from
SuperLogics who do list Linux support:

and aren't too pricey.

good luck,
Ed
