I need to get another serial port or two on my linux box. I have one for the mouse, another for my IR controller, and I would like at least one more for an X10 ActiveHome controller. Ideally I would have a fourth for a dial-in modem. If I get a normal add-on two-port serial card for ~$30-$40, could I use that in addition to the two ports I have now, or are they going to conflict with IRQ's? Real 4-port serial cards seem to be very expensive. Are there any that are not? I don't need fast. Does each com port need an IRQ? That would suck. Does anyone have experience with a particular make, model, or vendor?
