The 386 running (and I use the term loosely) Unix.

Lowest cost fix: Get a two port serial card that has 16550 UARTs on it
and run the "FAS" serial driver (available at an archive site near
you).

If you are handy with a soldering iron, or if your current serial card
has sockets, just rip the old uarts out, jump on them a few times for
good measure and pop in a set of 16550's.  The bare 16550 chips cost
anywhere from $5 to $20 each depending on where you get them.
