I've seen several at Westech Recyclers.

It's probably better to follow Kevin's idea and use a Linux box. My PDA
has a vt100 emulator and I've used it for a serial console before :).

If you go the route of using the serial ports on a Linux box look at
screen or conserver. That gives you the opportunity to log activity on
the console as well as for multiple people to look at it at once.

ciao,
