I see a lot of stallion hardware about , I have some cards here in fact, but
not so much specialix, I can't even find a website for them.

The client that needs the board is a small car dealership
and they cant justify the cost of an OS upgrade and
the hardware that goes with it.

Two ports on this 8 port board have "died" , hence the need for
a replacement.

I dont suppose there is a way to use the 2 serial ports on the PC itself
to replace the 2 dead ports?

The vt100 terminals they use only support rs232,
also the place is wired for serial when it was built,
there was no cat5 back then.

appreciate any help

TIA
