Is there any existing products that will link two independent
coaxial-based Ethernets together using one or more ordinary
point-to-point serial lines running at speed up to 19.2k bps
each?  One use of this product could be to link physically
remote Ethernets together with cheap point-to-point serial
circuits, or telephone modems.

Ideally this product would be self-contain in hardware so that
it can be pluged into the Ethernets on both ends directly, without
needing a Sun or a dedicated PC to run the gateway software.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Please reply by e-mail if possible, I will summarize if I get
any information.
