They are about the size of a 25-pin serial gender changer and have DIP switches. Years ago our factory HP3000 used a dedicated line to our office with all serial devices for printers and terminal program on PC's connected to an HP box with multiple serial ports. When we changed to frame relay they put a serial to ethernet transciever on the old HP box and bridged that from our factory network (we were on a different subnet). Such a device could probably be easily connected to a wireless bridge. The old HP3000 is now using special telnet clients for terminals and JetDirect for printing through a VPN over SDSL (DS3 at our factory). I do have a USB to serial cable (using Windows driver) to access serial GPS from a PC, but am not familiar with any router USB or what that is capable of. Bluetooth acts like serial (COM port), but its range is limited.
