Well, there are several things that could be done, but you're a bit too
unspecific to really help you.

The most important question remaining is: how do you physically want to
connect serial (rs232 or something like that?!) to ethernet?

There are some realls small microcontrollers available doing this. Then,
you'll need the software port. There's an extension to the telnet
protocol that encapsulates serial data for (networked) devices. I think
this is the (software) way you should walk down. That'll increase
interoperability a lot...

MfG, JBG
