You may well have the driver(s), i am of the opinion that is it is stated
that "unix" is supported then quite possably there is a driver in the kernel
source for such an old card.
Try looking into /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help for a driver.
There is a list to be found with URL's in the Serial-HOWTO.
I used google.com to look for the word "4-port" i got more than 100 hits,
there must be some hint for you in there as well.
