We've found that the boards from Boca Research are relatively
inexpensive... if your software supports them (I've heard of
some compatibility issues). You might want to check them out.

They're conveniently on the web, so you can check out their 
current line and price list.

They even have a nice case with a backplane like the old
Galacticom boxes.

Just watch out for their "sysop program". You might get
excited about the great prices... but Boca won't "approve"
your board for the program if it contains any adult-oriented
material (including newsgroups, public message bases, or files).

BTW - Digi's also on the web, so you can compare...

We've found the quality of Digi's boards to be outstanding,
and compatable with just about anything. 
I guess it goes to show you get what you pay for.
