There were some postings about this a long time ago... I think the
Socket serial card was reported to work, but only the model with one
serial port. You could also try to track down one of the very rare
MP2x00 docking stations, they have a DB9 and a Mini-DIN8 port, both
work simultaneously IIRC.

FREETOP.HTM#FreeDock (amazing that this page still exists)
Or, like Marty suggested, just use a regular ethernet card, that would
be the cheapest solution by far :)
