I thought you guys might be interested in this, it is not used cards, but original new cards. For example, you can buy a 2 serial port, 1 EPP (bidirectional, high speed parallel) for 8 bit ISA for US$45 (you have to click buy online to see the prices)

Personally, what I would most want is 1 serial and 1 epp, because I already have a serial port on the AST SixPack board.
I would think EPP would be desirable because it speeds up the parallel port, which should be a good thing for parallel port network devices, that is to say, devices that convert a parallel port into an Ethernet port.

one thing I'm wondering though...there are serial to ethernet things out there...would a PC be able to use that to access the Internet with DSL? or would you have to use the parallel to ethernet instead?
