Re: Universal Serial Bus RS232 Ports

Here are links to devices
http://www.quatech.com/public/gotousb.htm The seem to have up to 8
serial ports.

http://www.nextag.com has a section to compare prices

I don't know about the drivers for Linux though. It's possible that you
can go beyond simple USB serial devices like Visor PDA which works for
me.

It might be cheaper or easier for you to get a multiport RS232 card from
Cyclades, rocketport and such which already have Linux support in the
kernel. They cary at least 4 port devices.
