Sounds a lot like the Businesscard multifunction card from Street Electronics,
but it's post enhanced //e and Softalk didn't last long enough to cover the
Mac 512, let alone the enhanced //e. That card had two serial ports with
DIN 5 connectors and a Thunderclock compatible clock. A fairly cool card, and
I have one, but one of the serial cables is missing and all eight slots in my 
//e are full so ain't tried it yet.
