There are some photos and references here:

The students of my online Intro to Linux Programming course routinely "play" 
with an IO Anywhere appliance which is online (at least sometimes online) at 
the IO Anywhere headquarters.

If you go to the main IO Anywhere website (http://www.io-anywhere.ca) you can 
interact with that same live IO Anywhere appliance via the "Try Me" tab.    
(Last time I tried it would only worked via my Firefox browser and not 
Konqueror ??)

You'd need to contact the engineers at IO Anywhere (www.io-anywhere.ca) with 
your specific specs to get a definitive answer.

As the facilitator of the LGPL'd  IO Anywhere Library project,  I'm aware of 
some of the areas where this device has been deployed.      These include a 
confocal laser eye scanner,   building automation,  point of sale,  pharma 
pill press controllers and  insitu steam valve testing.

Certainly if you want to web enable some I/O in my experience this appliance 
is quite capable.
