I am not aware of one at the moment.  It would have to be more than
just a simple transceiver since you would be talking two very
different protocols.  You would probably need something more like
a bridge which would provide buffering of packets and translation in
each direction.  If all you want to do is extend the range of RS232,
we have a media converter which when used in pairs will extend RS232
signaling up to 2,000 meters using fiber.  Check out our web
page at http://www.transition.com for more details.
