There are switch boxes (I have a stack of them) but, of course, you can only use one device at a time. Also, for some devices you may have to restart the computer to get the switched device recognized.
I seem to recall that KeySpan used to make devices that would allow two active serial ports out of one. Another way, admittedly a kludge, would be to insert a PCI card with USB ports, then use one of the still available KeySpan USB to serial converters (going for $20 to $40 on eBay).
