Serial Switchboxes are do-able, as is an i/o card Adam.
You can get either from PcPro (If you don't have an account there,
open one),I'd go with the i/o card, get an ISA one if you can,
because its a hell of a lot easier to setup. Most PC's also only
have 1 Com port installed by default, but what a lot of people don't
know is that 99.9% of the boards actually have a pinout for
connecting a Com2, and all you need to is enable it in the BIOS.
Have a look inside and see can you find a pinout with "Com2" written
on the board next to it. If you do, mail me off list and I'll hook
you up with a cable and port to hook into it.
