Decided to order some more things from Parallax as I get closer to building some actual circuitry. I ended up buying a Basic Stamp PIC microcontroller testing board. It has some very awesome functionality for such a simple board and interface. I think that it will be good.
As well I bought an ADC chip from them that I hope to use to measure the incomming analog signals as they come back on the cable. This will let me do the calculations for the distance to the break.
Things are going well.

Parts Order
Got down to ordering parts today, for the project.
Ordered stuff from DigiKey, and SparkFun electronics up in boulder. As well I'm working with a distributor called Parallax that makes a bunch of micro controller stuff.
I ordered an RS232 to USB-Bmini PCB breakout that uses the FTDI chip.
Going to be exciting to get some fun stuff.
