	I'm trying to control 6 RS232 devices from a windows program (trouble
already, right?)  The touchscreen pretending it's a mouse is ONLY available
w/ serial interface so that eats COM1:.  The LaserDisk for Real-Time video
driver takes COM4:.  So, is there ANY way I can use 4 more serial ports?
I'm willing to buy what's required but I need it ASAP.  I've talked to
vendors of multiport boards and none of them work with Windows.  H/W is an
IBM PS/2 model 80 (ie microchannel).  e-mail and phone calls (even from
sales people :-) welcome.
