[net.wanted] wanted: a smart protocol converter

I am looking for a micro-computer or a smart device that will convert
xon/xoff protocol to etx/ack protocol in both directions:

                      ___________
===== xon/xoff =====> |         | ===== ext/ack =====>
<===== xon/xoff ===== |_________| <===== etx/ack =====


It should be able to properly buffer xon/xoff at rates up to 19.2k baud.
If one box can handle multiple channels, this is a plus.
If the device is programmable so that it can split an etx/ack port
between multiple xon/xoff ports this is a BIG plus.

If anyone can tell me where I can find something like the above I 
sould apreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
