Why not use a single port terminal server, rs232 <-> lan ?. Used a lot
here in the lab to get serial port kit onto the network. Typical type
is the Patton 2120, though that model has probably been replaced now.
Startech and Moxa build those as well, various types and capabilities,
including windows port compatability

Don't need a complete system to do that, gross overkill...
