Seriously though, if that's the only reason you're looking for such an old PC, wouldn't you be better off getting a USB to RS232 serial adaptor (you can pick them up for about £10), or a PCI RS232 Serial card?
There are quite a few PCI RS232 cards that aren't supported in Linux. I bought one a year or so back that claimed to be supported. In actual fact the manufacturer provided the source for a driver compatible with the 2.4 kernel which wasn't a whole lot of use :( James -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
