You can add a "standard" COM2 board to your P.C., and then use "mkdev
serial" to make it available to your system, but don't try to use COM3/4
Dos hardware as you will dissapointed.
You can also use the COM1 port if you wish, and you don't use the mouse
for X-sessions, (use "mkdev mouse" to free up the port).
Apart from these the other options are multi port serial I/O products
such as those made by Digi or Stallion.
There are also many SCO Console terminal emulation products available
that work over a TCP/IP LAN as well as serial links, is this an option
for you?
