I have also been thinking that it might not be too difficult to
implement using Beaglebone Black, Raspberry PI, or even one or another
flavour of Arduino. Lots of possibilities from simple to not so simple.
The challenge is always trying to figure out what sort of protocol to
use for encapsulating serial data in the Ethernet Stream. Do you send
each character in its own UDP or TCP datagram? Do you batch them
together and send a message every TBD milliseconds.
Ideally, you'd like the protocol to match some commonly available client
on the other end. Sure, things like telnet exist, but does software
that expects an actual serial port know how to use telnet instead?
That said, there's plenty of example code out there for, example, the
Arduino Ethernet. There's a telnet server that could easily be modified.
