My recommendation would be to take two small SBC e.g. RaspberryPi and connect each MAXnet controler via a USB2serial adaptor to its own SBC.

Another common option is using a "console server" or 'terminal server". These are COTS boxes that connect multiple serial lines (RS-232, RS-485) to TCP/IP, typically assigning a dedicated port to each serial line.

Many installations use "MOXA boxes" (MOXA NPort 6000 series terminal servers), but there are other vendors with similar products. Such boxes are industrial hardware, combining robustness and high availability with low management and maintenance effort.

On the IOC, the drvAsynSerialPortConfigure is replaced by drvAsynIPPortConfigure. That's typically all that needs to change.
And as that IOC only does network IO, it can easily be moved to a virtualized host, possibly removing the need for your CentOS PC.
