Joe,
Thanks for that posting. I've also used a lot of LAN or USB to RS422
converters, as well as RS232/422 adapters on my Z3801A.
Before you commit to Amazon, note there are many Ethernet/RS422 offerings on
eBay.
Just do an eBay search for: RS422 ethernet
Or to uncover even more listings, in the search box, type:
RS422 (Ethernet,LAN,TCP/IP,Network)
I see there's some local ones (USA) for less than your Amazon find:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181841884873
There are also inexpensive bare-board versions like:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/131700539876
And, if you have a couple of 422 devices, consider the economics of a 4-port
unit like:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301881123530
I have no affiliation with any seller, nor have I tried these specific items.
But they are inexpensive and look worthwhile. OTOH, I'm nervous about any
networking product made in CN even if its web interface says "IOT Experts" and
"Be Honest, Do Best!"...
