Can anybody recommend a usb to serial port adapter box for us?
It would be great if we can have 16 serial ports.

And one more question: after plug in this adapter, can I find a
com1/com2/...com16 in the hardware manager of Window XP? I should send
command strings to our equipments through these serial ports.

Thanks in advance.

one and most seem to not work real well. I'd say your
best bet is a PCI card with multiple ports, but the
most I've heard of only have 8 ports. See

Here is one with sixteen ports. Kinda expensive
(~$30 per port). Since it has its own power supply,
you might get a better output voltage swing on the
RS-232 end with this.
