It's not that big of a monkey wrench in and of itself. It just does mean that you're in the minority use case. :-( -- Welcome to the club. :-D
As we discussed any half decent system (a 486, SPARC, etc.) can provide the intelligence to do this. I was hoping there was a purpose built box that could be used in a turnkey manner and be hidden away out of sight for my use. Failing that rolling a Pi system w/ serial HAT or a USB to RS232 adapter maybe the cheapest option as you suggested.
