I work with Dallas Semi 1-Wire industrial serial interface, very useful for telemetry apps, large arrays of sensors and control devices. Not good for high-speed fancy stuff like video, etc

It does have rs232 adapter and some Linux folk had developed a virtual file system where each device on the 1-Wire network shows up as a file within the virtual file system. So access is very easy from a programming standpoint. Take a look at owfs.sf.net - there are number of good application projects published.

All invented by Maxim/Dallas, individual node chips are like $3 each or so
