i don't know what they cost, i've never used one, but i've heard good things
about them.  check out a Chase IOLAN+ (they come in 4, 8 & 16 port models)
they can do 115K on 16 ports ne sweat, and hook to your ethernet, not your
PC, so the 386 can be a server and not do the routing stuff.  i'm sure these
things are expensive though.  just a thought.
