I've been using a byterunner (www.byterunner.com). They have inexpensive
ISA and PCI serial, parallel & combo cards. I believe I paid between $60
& $70 for a 4 serial & 2 parallel card. The serial can share an IRQ so I
disabled one of the onboard ports and used the IRQ for the 4 serial. Works
very nicely. I'm currenlty using it to support a modem, dumb terminal & UPS.
