The "Edgeport" boxes from http://www.ionetworks.com/
seem to enjoy good Linux support from the "io_edgeport" and "io_ti: drivers:
  http://www.kroah.com/linux/usb/edgeport/

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself (yet). Instead I'm using an old "Annex"
box from Bay Networks
  http://www.ofb.net/~jheiss/annex/
to access serial ports over plain old TCP/IP.
Not sure if this would be sufficient for your purpose, though.
