Hi, we got a Windows 2003 server that we are going to use as a RAS server.
The server only got 1 serial port but we need to have 4 modems.
How should we do?
Can we use a USB-to-Serial adapter? (I have not find any for windows 2003)
Can I use a USB modem? (not as good as abov - because we allready have 4
serial modems)
Any serial controll cards that works on w2003?
Any good usb modems that work with w2k3? I have tried two but non of them
worked

Any ideas? - Please let me know!
Thanks /Martin

I have never set that up myself, but there are PCI expansion boards that can give you
extra serial ports. See the link below for a current one on Ebay as an example. Just
be sure they are W2003 compatible. --- Steve

PCI serial expansion cards are pretty simple. You have
to use external modems, but that is a better option for
lighting protection and hardware failures any way.

siig and digi both make excellent serial expansion cards
