actually, I bought one last week that has USB to TWO RS232s, runs fine on
windoze, I presume, it will run on Linux as well, I'll try that, it was...
around $40 I think

I'm just thinking what will work 'best'

I really like to utilize my hardware till it drops, and, utilize every
interface till there is no holes left vacant, I still use 486SL (which I
think is a 386 with math co-pro?) as a fax server/answering machine/file

(apart from my web server, remote to me) this will be my 1st Linux machine
