The shareware version of SIO is available all over.  There's also a beta
for a new version, which hasn't been updated in some time, unfortunately.

To register, you can call Ray Gwinn's BBS (the author), via phone or
telnet, and use a credit card.

Without registering, the released version is limited to 4 ports, including
Vmodem ports.  Registration cost varies by the number of ports.  The beta
version has no set limit on the number of Vmodem ports, but it may still
have a limit on physical ports.
