Analog modem emulator?

[Cini, Richard]

JDR Microdevices has an 8-port PCI card for $128. Look for item MCT-P8S-1. I
noticed that they also have a 4-port ISA card, too. That's $48 (item
MCT-4S-1).

It's called the Decision Computer Group PC-COM ISA Bus 8 port RS-232/422
card.  Here's some technical info:

Here's their website apparently:

Not sure how you're supposed to order one.  I used to buy mine through the
same company that wrote the C serial port library I used.
