Where I used to work I designed a serial comms hub using a mid-range PIC
with SPI and four '2313 AVRs as UARTs, communicating with the PIC via
bit-banged SPI. It ran at 115k, and could have used more '2313s for
additional serial ports. The '2313s used their on-chip RAM for buffers.

Another option is to use Maxim SPI UARTs.
