I know this is not exactly what you asked for, but I have made good
experience with ethernet-to-serial terminal concentrators, e.g.
from Digi or Perle or any other vendor. As they are connected by
ethernet you can easily build cluster and/or failover configurations
with it. On the plus-side they are independent of bus-types/slots.
From the OS they just look like a normal serial device.
