is another one, but from B and B Electronics.  Also pricier.

These devices do work, but they can be slower than USB-Serial, mainly because they're operated in Telnet mode as a server.  They convert characters to packets at a human rate (telnet is a terminal protocol), not at streaming rates.  But maybe the Saelig is different?

Not wanting to resurrect the why still RS-232 arguments I still thought this looked interesting.  Didn't investigate enough to see if it would work with a K3.  Thought there might be someone who would find it useful for something.

There is also a multiple RS-232 version.  However there may be issues with drivers/software to direct data from programs to this device rather than physical ports on the machine.
