Look for an ISA board, not PCI.
I installed a PCI expander card, but I couldn't get TR to see the additional
ports when I booted to Windows 98 DOS. When I ran TR on top of
regularly-booted W98, it worked fine. K5TR said it may be PCI-related.
Running in a DOS window an okay workaround for me, but some people have
their Windows installation loaded down. I prefer booting to DOS to give TR
full control of the machine.

DOS can handle up to four serial ports. You just need to buy a dual
serial port card to plug in. Should cost about $10.
