another one to look at is TINI from dallas semi.
www.ibutton.com
is basically a 8051 descendant with on board ethernet controller. by default
it is a java machine, but you can go to native mode.
has onboard web server, ftp server, 1 wire bus, can bus, lots of great stuff.
the tini itself is 50USD plus a socket board (you could make your own)
all this in a 72 pin SIMM.

check it out.

(ps/ i have 4 of them on my desk as i type)
