Random #'s via serial port dongle?

How do you pick the random section in the first place? Oh, I see, we
use a random number generator!
This has probably been discussed before, but has anyone built a little
device that amplifies the white noise from a transistor junction, and
converts it into serial data? You could easily build a self-powered
dongle that sits on an RS-232 port and continuously spits out truly
random bytes.
I could probably sell them for $25 if I could sell more than a hundred
of them. Is there a market for true random number generators?
