Good!
Now we are using the service of Seeedstudio [1] that makes a good boards.(Only the board, without any component). Each one for 3 US Dollars if usethe standar shipping.
The others components are "low cost".. the most expensive is the PIC18F4550but you can found for 4 US Dolars in ebay .And the RJ45 ports.. I'm not sure of the cost of that.
One clock of 20 mhz ~ 1 dolar.. 
14 resistences ~ less than 1 dolar
some capacitors.. two buttons.. and one USB port (type B)
that is all! The finished board:
