Eep, too expensive for me, it seems :) I found a place selling the 4 port
one for $1200, and the 8 port one for $1400. And those are the plain
IOLANs (not the IOLAN+). 8 port IOLAN+ is $1600.
Also, my 386 is doing the NAT thing, which the IOLAN doesn't seem to
support.
Chase does make multiport serial cards, but they're similarly expensive :(
