Roll Your Own NAS

Comtrol developed the first multiport serial card for the PC. Such cards turn a PC into a network access server for modem and ISDN communications or a collector of signals from sensors for data acquisition. The middle card uses RJ-45 jacks to connect to serial lines. The others provide DB-25 ports for modems. (Image courtesy of Comtrol Corporation.)
