A serial card costs roughly $20, or for free as "junk" at some surplus store, or at a garage sale. I've got a boatload of them around here.
If the problem you're having is causing downtime, I'll assume that downtime equals lost money, directly or indirectly. $20 for another serial port is peanuts in this case. A Parallel cable is also possible too I believe. I've used PLIP many times and it works fairly well.
