Where can I find an Embedded Linux box with at least 2 serial (RS232) ports? (I'm in the UK)?

Need to get a linux box for a project I am working on at the moment.

An embedded linux box is a small device with no screen or drives, the idea is for it to be very portable.

Just get a normal box with the serials you want and install Linux on it..

Get an old PII or PIII box from a car boot sale and download Suse or Slackware linux onto it. Four and eight port cards are buttons from a computer fair or an amateur radio rally. It's easier to set up tty's on ethernet now so a decent PC along with a cheap hub is a better bet. Samba is very easy to set up for telnet.
