I use a 4-port serial board by Byterunner. It's model PCI-400HS-9 and works
great.
It's the first card shown at
http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner/category=4+Serial+(RS-232)+PCI-bus+cards/exact_match=exact
And they also have a 4 port low profile PCI card model PCI-400LP (last card
shown).

Do you have any recommendations for four-port serial cards?
(I've got rig-control, keying, packet and UPS control to worry about...)
