Serial Port Servers provide many advantages over serial port cards installed in a computer.  More than one computer on the network can access a serial port, though not simultaneously, and access can occur over a wireles network.  Two serial port servers I have and use are the Digi Portserver TS 16 and the Comtrol Devicemaster.  Each of these Serial Port Servers utilize an ethernet connection, are 1 rack unit (RU), appear as installed serial ports on each installed computer, have 16 serial ports, and require no installed operating system.  These can be obtained at reasonable prices on auction sites.  I would not recommend building up a computer with numerous serial cards, as this solution is not as flexible.
