Thanks for the tip. They appear to sell through several sources who
put their own part number on the cards (there is a direct special
shown, but the offer expired last year!). The cross-reference doesn't
show the card I was intererested, but based on what IS shown, I think I
found it (a 4-port 16550-based PCI card) at JDR for a fairly good
price ($66).
