Thanks for all the feedback so far. You have softened some of my paranoia, but also raised some other issues I hadn't thought about -- in particular the fact that transformer response is frequency-dependent, and anything too far from the 60Hz a power transformer is meant to transmit will be

Randall, I just happened to do some research on this. The following part: NEC PS2505L-4-A is a quad optocoupler. On the input side, each optocoupler has two diodes connected in opposite directions. These stimulate a phototranistor output. I was using them mainly to see if an 24 VAC control

FTDI chips have a optically isolated mode of operation and a USB interface You could even run this over some multimode fiber to really isolate and make remote mounting really easy. you can filter out the high frequency spikes easily with a low pass filter, you want to have a low pass
