Not sure if they still make these, but you want a serial card. Don't know how many ports they have on the card, but there should at least be two. If you really need a lot of serial devices they did make these things devices that were like a hub that your describing that you could plug like either 8 or 16 serial devices in too that would give you some functionality like this, but from what I remember they only came as an isa board and not pci. Most machines made today don't have any isa slots. You should be able to get away with a board that has two ports or mainbe picking up a couple of these things is what you'll want to do. Places like Best Buy or Compusa should have what your looking for.
