Newport Electronics has introduced panel meters, controllers, and signal

Busware has an DIN-rail-mount Ethernet Serial Gatway which goes from one
10-base-t IP-ARP, UDP, TCP, SNMP and TFTP to one RS-232/RS-422/RS-485. They
give out serial port redirecting software for PCs so you can talk to your
application as if it were hooked up to a serial port.

Bob Nash uses a similar (not DIN-rail) 10-base-T to RS232 box from Moxa.
They make 4, 8, or 16 port boxes as well.
