I recently picked up a couple of Portmaster2 units from Horizon Datacom,
for $25 each, for exactly this use...  While I snagged the last two PM2s,
they still have PM2es (30 serials vs. 10 serials, and they each also have
a parallel printer port).  The PM2es are $75 each, and shipping on the
PM2s was very cheap (~$12 or so)

Firmware and docs are available at <http://www.portmasters.com/>, or just
ask me.
