low level serial

I am in need of a device for converting low level serial to ttl levels.
The incoming serial data is only a few hundred milivolts p-p squarewave.
Does anyone know of a chip designed for this purpose, or am I going to have
to resort to using a comparator?
I figure a 139, 239, 2901, or 3302 would handle the temp extremes this app
calls for (339's tend to malfunction below 32'f, 0'c)

    Try the LM139 which is a military grade IC (-55 DegC to +125 DegC)
    But watch for the input offset voltage.
