If you have access to CPLEX (I mean the commercial program, not Rcplex which is just an interface to it), then I would suggest to follow Erwin's proposal. My GAMS file looks similar to the one Erwin posted. For instructions how to send it to the NEOS solvers, see <http://neos.mcs.anl.gov/neos/solvers/>. To replace an absolute value by two binary variables is an old trick in optimization modeling. Here it will transform a subset sum problem into an MILP task, solvable in R with lpSolve, Rglpk or Rsymphony. But with a 100 binary variables it may be too much for these packages. I will give it a try today.
