We purchased a Digiboard Com/4i for our 386i.  It supports 4 9600 baud serial
ports and the driver appears to be clean enough.  We have used it for dial-in
logins and uucp.  The installation was quite easy, and the configuration is
done by a shell script that asks various questions and then installs the
driver with the proper switches.

The board was purchased new for around $300.

If you need more info, give me a call at 203/488-6090.
