Cisco terminal servers (routers with lots of async lines) can be
configured to do this. You set them up to connect a port to a serial
line like this;
line 1 5
transport input telnet
no exec
login
flowcontrol hardware
parity none
databits 8
speed 9600
stopbits 1
and then alias an IP to those ports like this;
ip alias 192.168.3.101 2001
ip alias 192.168.3.102 2002
ip alias 192.168.3.103 2003
ip alias 192.168.3.104 2004
ip alias 192.168.3.105 2005
