this came up in pop science? and cnn a while back maybe as early as 98 
about the posibility of appliances having their own webserver and in the 
future posibly being able to page you if it detects say the compresser 
going out or somthing.  mild speculation on posibilites etc

the serial may be from the powerline communication (posibly,  guesing)  
i know the x10 stuf has serial coms over the power wires
