[TriLUG] serial to ethernet converter

[Steve Kuekes]

I would highly recommend Comtrol's DeviceMaster products.

http://www.comtrol.com/products/deviceservers

They support RS-232 and RS-422 with units up to 8 ports.  And their 
products are based on Linux.  And they offer multiple interface options 
via TCP, UDP, and even support custom imbedded apps on their processor.

We have three of them in our DARPA Urban Challenge Elise and they have 
been flawless.
