Require the key on startup (of some daemon, probably the Web Server... add a command line option to apachectl, for example). The key is held in process memory for the processes that need it, not on disk (except maybe in swap). OK, so it's not perfect, but it's better than keeping the key on disk... you have to admit it would be *hard* to get the key this way. As a bonus, no process started by an intruder would know the key either, even a web server instance...
Radio Shack "ProbeScope"... about $100, plugs into your serial port, uses 9v battery for power... comes with pretty decent software (16 bit win, but I have seen linux software that claims to support it).
It also has a little lcd screen that will show you the waveform, and will act as a digital multimeter.
