I use a 2 port PCI serial board in my desktop with a single (prolific) USB to Serial to handle 2 radios and the FSK for RTTY.
When i go portable with my laptop i use a Moxa Uport 1410 4 port USB to serial. It has worked fine for me at JOTA and Field day events. I keep it all in a travel case so when i go somewhere i just disconnect my K3 and leave all cables etc. all are replicated in my travel box. It is a seamless (almost) operation. The Moxa works great for me.
