they're called "terminal servers", most -- including
all the ones
I've mentioned -- can be configured so you

to it. On
This can also be done with a Linux box (a homebrew terminal server).
Multi-port serial cards can be found for very reasonable prices.
I'm sure there's a package that someone's already written to do this too.
