Check out ByteRunner at www.byterunner.com.
8 port PCI is $219 including cable, but only $158 if you get three.
 There have been a number of group orders thru the various HA lists.

Subject: [ECS] MultiPort Serial Cards


Just 2 more weeks until I get my vacation, then my HA system gets overhauled
and upgraded!

I need an 8 port serial card for the new machine.  I prefer PCI.  I prefer 1
card, 1 slot.  Looks like the only affordable choices are:
RocketPort card from Comtrol for approx $280, including cables. (db9)
PCI-Fast card from Chase Research, $170 for card + $70 for cables. (db25
only)

Anyone have any experience, good or bad with these?  Or can you recommend
anything else 8 port 1 slot PCI?

FYI FlexPort is coming out with an 8 port PCI card, but it's not available
yet.  They currently have it only in ISA or 4 port cards in PCI.
