I have a device called a MicroFazer that will do this.
It was actually
sold as a printer buffer, but it has serial as well as parallel input,
and serial and parallel output, with several hundred K of buffer in
between.

===================================
I have a few of these as well (in case anybody wants one), but mine do NOT
do 110 baud (150 minimum); are you sure yours does? Also AFAIK they
were all unidirectional (except for XON/XOFF of course).
Mine are serial to serial, 150 to 19200bd, 64K buffer BTW.
