Doesn't look too complicated. Did almost the exact same thing a few years ago with a soekris box to control a remote HP ultrasound machine, gather up the serial data, dump it into a web page for the technician to review/edit, shipped it via tcp/ip over to another soekris box over the internet at the radiologists office, that then extracted the data and re-dumped it back out the serial port to the fancyschmancy thingamabob at the remote end that was expecting to talk to the ultrasound directly.
Worked good. And that was using 4501's I believe. been several years.
