I looked up RS232-to-Bluetooth and there are devices,
but there a LOT more
expensive. I'll just keep schlepping cables around the
room, I guess, at
least for now. -- Ian

The bare TTL RS232<>BT devices start at < $5.00
e.g. eBay 200924726178
True RS-232 < $15:
e.g. 400706121660
I've used both with no issues.
For RS-232<>Ethernet I prefer a used Lantronix UDS-10 or equivalent; more
professional configuration options/software than the current Chinese stuff.
You used to be able to pick them up for around $20 if you kept your eyes
open.
e.g.:
131252594914
271574124592
Or maybe:
191248187972
No problem putting pretty well anything with a serial port up on the
Internet; the Lantronix devices are pretty flexible but not all other
devices handle handshaking properly and buffer overflow can be a problem.
I've logged into a CP/M system in Australia with a Tandy M100 laptop in
Toronto ;-)
And then there are the RS232<>WiFi adapters...
