Sun has a couple of these they support natively:

x1155a is Sun's HSI/P which is a card from Performance Technologies. I've
never used this one so I'm not sure how good the driver support is in
current Solaris releases (9 and 10 mainly).

x1156a and x2156a (Sun calls it the 'SAI/P') are two different version of a
Digi 8-port serial i/o card with native Solaris driver support.

Regards,

Craig.
