You can use a 2600 or 2800 with the 16 port serial module.

I've used Cisco 2500 routers for this type of service, using the AUX
port and a roll-over cable to connect to the target device.  I'm talking
2501s mostly, not the 2511 or 2508, unless you need to control more than
one device at a specific location.

Ethernet, AUX port, SSH, firewall.  Updates are sketchy, but these are
mature devices.
