No such thing exists as a purely hardware implementation.

It might be possible to conceive of a processor with a UART connected to an RS232 transceiver, and a 10/100 Ethernet MAC connected to some magnetics. The software stack would include TCP/IP on the Ethernet side and maybe SLIP (Serial Link Internet Protocol - RFC 1055, Romkey, J. 1988) on the RS232 side. Is that what we are talking about?
