It's a neat idea, but expensive.  Goto ebay and buy an old Cyclades or
Digi CM terminal server instead.  Or get a Cyclades Cyclom PCI serial
port card.  I've got an old ISA version at home and it works great,
even after all these years.  

I've tried getting a USB-to-serial convertor to work with a RH FC3 box
to talk to a Palm IIIx serial hotsync cradle, but I couldn't make it
work at all.  Very frustrating.  

If you do the get USB->8port serial, make sure you get a promise of a
full refund if it won't work.  And if it does work, let us know!
