Dennis,
Many thanks for the links. As I'm not afraid of wiring and computer innards, I'll give this a try. It seems like I can get a new setup running for several hundred dollars rather than the thousands that I have been quoted by others.
I was wondering if it is better to look at a USB breakout card rather than the Serial/Parallel port type breakout card? I have this nagging concern about having the "standard" ports disappearing the way that the ISA and RS-422 combo disappeared from the current system.
But I guess that the catch with USB is what software will interface with it to drive the router.
