The ethernet to HP-IB bridge is a fairly common piece of kit. The old 
ones are not particularly stable - we used to use them on the production 
lines... The new ones (Agilent branded, forgot the model no) are pretty 
reliable.

USB-HP-IB are common enough, but were pricey - I think we had 200 or so, 
but because they're so useful, they all seem to have been, err, 
deployed...
