Hi Don, It's been 5 years since I purchased a computer but the approach I followed then should still be relevant. If you buy a desktop style PC there will be a means for adding additional cards in slots. Then just buy a serial card on Amazon.com with the same bus nomenclature and you'll be rewarded with 2 or 4 real serial DB9 connectors with real numbers such as com 1, com 2, etc..
