Hello LÉVAI Dániel, If I understand you correctly you want a serial server
you could use something like a PCengines apuc2. running OpenBSD that would work ok, as a serial console box thjat would liekly set you back about 150 euro ... which is good value considering what you get or if security is not a big deal for you mikrotik does have a pretty flexible suite of options for a serial -->TCPIP (serial server)/ virtual serial ports) and you can get a solution for sub 100 euro ... for that soemthing like an rb450G or RB411 would do...
