Shiva makes a device called a NetSerial that will probably work.  It allows
you to plug in any RS232 device to the NetSerial.  The NetSerial then makes
it available across the AppleTalk network.  A user connects to the device 
through the Chooser by selecting the NetSerial icon.  It costs about $300
from mail order houses.

Shiva can be reached at 617-252-6300.
