Cool.  I have an RS232 shield on order which is the missing piece of the puzzle.  The hardware manifest is currently:

1x Arduino Uno R3
1x Arduino Ethernet Shield
1x Arduino Serial/RS232 Shield

Total cost is roughly $80 for the Arduino and shields, but it may weigh in less if you look hard enough.  I've also ordered an enclosure which may or may not work with this stack (if it does, that's another $15 or so dollars).  Once I get everything nailed down I'll probably sell complete units, but I'm also making the code open source.  I did have to make a change to the Ethernet library and will have to publish that as a separate project due to licensing issues (the Ethernet library is GPL).
