Forrest, 
check out http://beaglerobotics.com/catalog/product_info.php?
cPath=21&products_id=57 

I have there exactly what you have described, a flexible development board with 
breadboard area, modules/function that one can add on or not buy at all, and no 
hardwired connections.

The only thing that is different is the RJ11 jack, I use 5/6 pin connector.  It 
is trivial to make an adaptor cable RJ11/6pin, I will supply it for free with 
the purchase of the development kit BBDM-1.

Hope this helps,

Sergey
