Maybe the Lantronix XPORT device would suit:-

It gives you Ethernet connectivity, not a phone liine connection.
Very small package and very powerful features. Way better than
SitePlayer. Buy them in NZ from Polykom for NZ$87ea+gst.

For volume stuff where price per unit is more important it may become
more feasible to build your own Ethernet interface (with the obvious
extra software invlved). There seem to be quite a few designs in
magazines based on the Realtek RTL8019AS chip.

PS. I always wondered who printed the zebras.
