Well, I guess I'm just lucky.  I found a motherboard with a serial port
right off the bat on Amazon last August.  I just searched for server
motherboard with serial port and it came right up.  I didn't look at any
pdf files.  Sure enough, it has a normal, regular serial port which worked
fine when I did my Debian install.  I really don't get why there seems to
be so much trouble finding such a thing.  As I said, maybe I'm just lucky.
 I've found that the dedicated computer sites are useless.  I had much
better luck with Amazon.  I wouldn't bother with the shops, but I'm lazy.
