Hi guys

My new motherboard doesn't have a serial port. Didn't realise this until after I bought it. The inevitable march of progress...

Anyone have cheap suggestions for adding a serial port to my PC? I was looking at a PCI solution, but they seem expensive (around £35). Unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

Cheers
