I'm trying to find a RS232 Switch (If there is something like that).
I have a lot (3+) old Serial devices which I use daily, and I would like to 
continue with it.
When my Onboard NIC broke down I had to remove my old IO card, and there is 
only 1 RS232 onboard.
I googled, but only found USB2Serial devices, and I don't believe that would 
work for me

Sure.  They used (20-25 years ago) to be very popular, but not so
much, any more, since the only external serial devices that most
anyone uses (at home, at least) anymore is an external modem or 
some sort of home automation controller.

But, relatively speaking, not many people do HA or external serial
modems.  (It's all USB or ethernet now)

Why not?

E.g. company Sunsway is making PCI cards with 1 or more (up to 6 I think) 
RS232 ports (http://www.sunsway.com.hk/) - it uses ST Labs name for their 
products. But I don't know nothing about the quality of these cards or 
company in general. I just hope, it could help U. ;)
