One other possibility - instead of the VIOM use a NETIOM (still from
Phaedrus). This would save on an MSS100 (doing myself out of a sale
here). The Netiom is effectively an Ethernet connected version of the
VIOM , with a slightly different feature set.  The NETIOM will be
available shortly from Phaedrus  with xAP firmware inbuilt or (likely
better for you as you wouldn't need to bridge it with an xPLHAL script)
xPL firmware which is I believe provided by Lehane on this list. Your
PIR's will now not be 'serial tunnel' or PC dependent and will send
trigger information out directly on Ethernet, this removes a few
dependencies which should make it quicker, more reliable and
surprisingly .... cheaper
