Hi guys,
        I recently added a Windows XP based computer here at the house that has 
only one physical serial port (as COM1) and a modem (as COM2).  Because 
of all the radio and rotor controlling stuff, I need at least 2 more 
serial ports.  There are three major options:
PCI serial port card(s)
USB to serial conversion adapter
External LAN based serial ports (separate box that lives on the LAN and 
will provide apparent serial ports for any computer on the LAN).
Because I will need multiple devices operating simultaneously, a serial 
port switch will not meet my needs.

Any of you have any recommendations on the better way to do it?
