Well, I have a 4-port Titan TC-400 (a Taiwanese card) which has 4 normal
UARTs (with FIFOs) and full modem control signals.  I paid about $85 for
the card here in Finland, so it should be around $40 in the US. ;-)

There is no driver for the card yet, but I managed to hack one 4-port
driver to work with it.  I guess I should do this again and mail the
driver to someone for incorporating it into the tree.  The changes
required were minimal - removing one line of code and changing one hex
value.
