I use the SitePlayer Telnet device for this; less than $100 US and works both 
for IP->RS-232 and RS-232 -> IP; a pair of them can work as a really good 
RS-232 extension over the LAN, too.

See http://www.siteplayer.com/telnet/index.html

Can use PoE, too.  

I've got a couple of dozen of these in production, and they work great.
