Werk, You've given me an idea!
I have a few serial to IP servers that we used to use before our RS232/RS485 devices had TCP/IP. I wonder if they might work.
They look like this:

From the manual: https://www.lantronix.com/wp-content/upl...100_UG.pdf
Application Examples
Using a method called serial tunneling, the UDS encapsulates serial data into
packets and transports them over Ethernet. Using two UDS units, connected by a
network, virtual serial connections can extend across a facility or around the world.
Protocol Support
The UDS uses the Internet Protocol (IP) for network communications and the
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or duplicated and
everything sent to the connection arrives correctly at the target.
Supported protocols include:
ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for network communications.
TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.
TFTP for firmware updates.
IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which devices interact with other devices
without a point-to-point connection.
Looks like the dining table might be an experimentation table this weekend
I could always just buy those ones on ebay, but I'm poor and are a bugger for a challenge haha.
