I have found three sources for a multiple serial port USB device:

1.  Comtrol Rocketport.  4 ports but supports on 7 or 8 bit data so won't
handle FSK keying.  It is on back-order at most places.

2.  www.connecttech.com Their White Heat product does 4 ports, supports 5,6,
7, 8 bits.  They have not replied to email after 24hours.  Not sure where to
buy.

3.  www.svbus.com Silicon Valley Bus.  4 ports.  Not clear about less than 7
data bits.  They also have not replied to email after 24 hours.  Order
direct.

I gave up for now and ordered another Rocketport PCI for my new machine.
I'll worry about getting the USB version later.

73,
