I've never seen a serial (DB-9 or DB-25 connector) keyboard before.
PS/2 is a 9-pin mini-DIN connector.  A small round thing.  Prior to
PS/2 was the AT keyboard which had a bigger DIN connector.

Yeah, buy an extension card that has a serial port on it.  Not
necessary since you'll likely never have anything that wants to use it
besides the modem.
