Does the ethernet to serial adapter have a brand name on it? Often these devices are oem'd from a third party that manufactures the adapters. Also, they are often configured on the LAN using a browser. If you know the ip address of the adapter have you tried putting that address into a browser to see if you get invited to configure the thing?
To answer your first question, yes, it is certainly possible to access a serial device over ethernet using an adapter.

Hi there,
I have a Debian server (192.168.1.1) connected through ethernet to a RS232 device servers (192.168.1.5) that is then connected through RS232 to a Video Projector.
The idea is that I want to send commands to the video projector (eg. turn on/off) via the device server.

DE(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual DE(4)
NAME
de - DEC DEUNA 10 Mb/s Ethernet interface
SYNOPSIS
/sys/conf/SYSTEM:
NDE de_controllers # DEUNA
DESCRIPTION
The de interface provides access to a 10 Mb/s Ethernet network through a Digital Equipment UNIBUS Network Adapter (DEUNA).
Each of the host's network addresses is specified at boot time with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl. The de interface employs the address resolution
protocol described in arp(4P) to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local network.
The interface normally tries to use a ``trailer'' encapsulation to minimize copying data on input and output. The use of trailers is nego-
tiated with ARP. This negotiation may be disabled, on a per-interface basis, by setting the IFF_NOTRAILERS flag with an SIOCSIFFLAGS
ioctl.
DIAGNOSTICS
de%d: hardware address %s. This is a normal autoconfiguration message noting the 6 byte physical ethernet address of the adapter.
de%d: oerror, flags=%b tdrerr=%b (len=%d). The hardware indicated an error in transmitting a packet to the cable. The status and error
flags are reported.
de%d: ierror, flags=%b lenerr=%b (len=%d). The hardware indicated an error in reading a packet from the cable. The status and error flags
are reported.
de%d: can't handle af%d. The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
dropped.
de%d: buffer unavailable. The interface received more packets than it had buffers allocated to receive them.
de%d: address change failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b. The interface was unable to reprogram its physical ethernet address. This may happen with
very early models of the interface. This facility is used only when the controller is not the first network interface configured for XNS.
The following messages indicate a probable hardware error performing the indicated operation during autoconfiguration or initialization.
The two control and status registers should indicate the nature of the failure. See the hardware manual for details.
de%d: reset failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: ppcb failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: read addr failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: wtring failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
de%d: wtmode failed, csr0=%b csr1=%b.
