Seriously though, if that's the only reason you're looking for such an old PC, wouldn't you be better off getting a USB to RS232 serial adaptor (you can pick them up for about £10), or a PCI RS232 Serial card?

There are quite a few PCI RS232 cards that aren't supported in Linux.  I
bought one a year or so back that claimed to be supported.  In actual
fact the manufacturer provided the source for a driver compatible with
the 2.4 kernel which wasn't a whole lot of use :(
