I need to find a serial card for my PC. USB to serial cables are not working. Any suggestions on a new card?

My pc has a serial port which I use.... but I have been looking at new pc's and almost none now ship with a serial port. I was surprised to see how much it costs for a PCI card. Still only about $35-60, but when you see all the firewire, usb2 even esata stuff you can get for about $14.... I guess the manufucturs know there is a captive market, especially since none of the pc manufacturuers seem to be using them anymore. A lot of pc's used by retail stores need at least one or two serial ports...

I think I have a couple of 2 or 4 port serial cards hanging around...

Not for sure on the name. I have just used one. I ordered it from Tiger Direct, it had 25-30 good reviews. I guess one one used it for a weather station. Any way I swapped PC's with my son(I forgot his has a serial port.) and everything is running great now.
