Probably, if someone came up with a reasonable definition of what
"just works" actually means for such a device.
If I plug this hypothetical "just works" serial-to-Ethernet box onto

switch along with my desktop computer, laptop, and wireless router,
what exactly should the box do? And what should I, as the user, do?
