Go for the modem-replacement-thing, if you don't need the modem. That
will give aou a standard Mac-style serial port, supported
out-of-the-box.

On the other hand, PCI serial boards are supported as of very recently,
and I'm not sure whether/if that suport has found it's way into current
PPC kernels.
