Thanks, this is truly what I was looking for, I had thought of the xbee addition and that would work; I just didn't know a simple environment that would allow the communication.

Also, I am thinking of the use of bluetooth, or it looks like in aj's link that with the ethernet shield, it could be connected to a router.
