Amen.  I paid a mere $16 for my 4-port serial adapter -a very cheap way 
to add 4 "real" serial ports to the box.  I have touted this solution on 
several ham reflectors.  A few report success following suit, whilst the 
rest continue to flog the old USB-Serial-adapter carcass, wondering why 
they still have problems!
