Hello all,

	I'm in need of a *cheap* serial port or card for my clunker IBM XT
clone.  Basically, I have access to a modem, on loan, but for some odd reason
my clone doesn't have a serial port (it's got a printer, but the printer
uses a parallel port).  Can anybody suggest a really CHEAP source?  Probably
mail order from the Computer Shopper, as far as I know, any other suggestions?

	Btw, does anybody know anything about something called a Pro/Fax 
Multi-function card?  Looks oldish, so I don't *think* it's a fax card... :-)
