Any decent routers with a serial port?

As it's becoming more an more evident that the Dlink 713P I have is moving closer and closer to the grave (if it doesn't die by itself, I may wind up smashing it with a hammer), I need to find something to replace it with that won't break the bank (which leaves out the Netgear 114 and Dlink 824VUP entirely) that has a serial port on it (need to share a 56K modem wirelessly. believe it or not). I have an separate access point (802.11b/g) that I can use, so either a wired or wireless router would work, as long as it's one of those few that has a serial port on it.

Any recommendations for what to look for (even a few years old model is fine as long as it's reliable)?

I remember one of the first router I bought was a SMC Barricade with 4 ports, it has a COM port and a parallel printer port. Actually, I still might have it somewhere in the house because I don't remember getting rid of it. It's a solid performer.
