So have it auto-reboot at night.  More seriously, the thing that fails
the most on Rpi-style boards is the SD card.  If you have a board that
doesn't use an SD card, it can be pretty robust.

Of course the Arduino library is sort of an OS, if you use it.

I still worry a little about whatever is making your existing box fail.
If you can isolate it to those capacitors or whatever it was, that is
great.  Otherwise maybe you have to be ready for the possibility of
installing a ready-made box with properly working RS232 ports and still
finding that it occasionally fails the same way.

Regarding the boxed microcomputer, someone on the Forth group might know
of a suitable product?  It's the type of thing they might be using.
