If you want to use parallel ports, it would be a neat trick to find a
board with 32 ports on it... :) If you want to use serial ports instead,
(the easier way), pretty much any supported multi-serial card will work --
RocketPort and Cyclades are my preferred selections, but you can go with a
cheaper model if you want. There probably won't be a whole LOT of data
running through them, so speed probably isn't an issue.

One of the main problems of running lots of "standard" serial or parallel
ports on a machine is that you start running out of I/O ports or
interrupts pretty quickly.
