Another Idea
Don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but if you've got a spare PC that can be dedicated to the pic, you can write a client/server type application in whatever pc language you use and have the pc connected to the pic retrieve commands over the network, spit them out the serial port to the pic, then have the pic send the serial commands to the device. Kind of cheap and dirty, but does the job. I've done this easily in VB.... and who doesn't have an extra old pc laying around collecting dust?
Here is a link for another pc solution.
