I know about two products:

1. MultiTalk 2   from   P-Ingenierie
2. C-Server      from   Solano Electronics

I recently installed MultiTalk in our network and it seems to work (not a lot
of experience yet). It shows up as an icon in the Chooser and you can configure
each port.

I myself would be interested in some information about C-Server:

1. does it work the same way as MultiTalk ?
2. where can I get it for a decent price (I would prefer one of the bigger 
   mail order warehouses)? 
   The price for MultiTalk here in Switzerland is quite high (>1000 bucks)!
