Comtrol make several inexpensive 4, 8 and 16 port 16450/16550 (your pick) based boards in their "Hostess Series". The 4 port board works with the "sio" driver (I have 4 boards). The 8 port should work with out any problems it just has more ports. The 16 port should work but it has 16552 UART I have not personally tested it. Contact Info: Comtrol Corp.
