You might also want to consider using a terminal server rather than a
multi-port serial board. You won't need drivers, and it'd be a lot more
resource-friendly than a non-intelligent multiport board, and you get a

We use Xylogics Annex 3's at work, and we're pleased with them. By
coincidence, so does my Internet provider.
