Yes, that should solve the problem.

I've seen them listed on the web for around $200 for two ports.
Search around with google. Another option is to get an old PC and run
Solaris x86, *BSD, or Linux on it, though that's certainly more
effort.

I've also seen them on eBay. There's a pretty healthy market for used
terminal servers.
