One easy way would be to plug in a USB to RS232 adapter into any old Linux device, like a
Pi. Another is to use an RS232 converter card for the built-in UARTs. I don't know
about the Pi, but I've used such a device for the BeagleBone Black.
A Telnet client is a standard tool; if it doesn't come pre-installed it's just a
matter of installing the relevant package.

I feel like a Raspberry Pi or similar would fit
the bill for this
nicely.
Yes, but it wouldn't be ready to go ;). I would need to find a raspberry pi with a
built in serial port and a flavor Linux already loaded on it plus configuration. There are
plenty of SERVER devices out there (i.e. take data from the serial console of a device and
present it over the LAN via TCP/IP and accessible by Telnet, SSH, even HTTP) so I am
hoping someone has a client device as well.
