    I just built a new computer (1 GHz Celeron) for the shack. It has 2
    onboard serial ports and I was wondering what would be the best way to
    add additional ports. I figure I need 2-3 for packet, one for rig
    control, one for RTTY/PSK31 PTT and one for CW keying (5-6 total if I
    don't switch connectors). The motherboard has several PCI slots and
    one ISA, as well as two USB connectors. I have one old 2-port ISA
    board and I've seen USB-to-serial adapters, but figure a 4-port serial
    adapter might be best. I haven't seen any of these recently, however.
    The software I will be using is kernel AX.25 + DX Spider + Xastir
    (packet) and TLF (contesting and general HF use), plus something for
    RTTY and PSK31, (I haven't decided exactly what yet.)

    Any suggestions on the best way to get additional serial ports?
