Yes, but it wouldn't be ready to go ;). I would need to find a raspberry pi with a built in serial port and a flavor Linux already loaded on it plus configuration. There are plenty of SERVER devices out there (i.e. take data from the serial console of a device and present it over the LAN via TCP/IP and accessible by Telnet, SSH, even HTTP) so I am hoping someone has a client device as well. -Ali
