For USB ethernet and RS-232 adapters, check jolouis's store; he's got purpose-built OTG adapters (much handier than the lesbie-adapter + software switching method) and sells some USB devices known to work, as well as a few other things that go well with tablets.

With ethernet particularly, there are many devices that seem like they should work, but don't or are buggy. Compatible RS-232, it seems, are more generally available...

A bunch.

In other words, can I have PAN (data(GPRS)) call to the mobile telephone in progress and at the same time have a Bluetooth HandsFree earpiece and a BlueTooth keyboard all running.

I've used a GPS, keyboard, and DUN simultaneously; I've also used a GPS, keyboard, mouse, and HSP simultaneously. (Haven't used my headset much since I got tetherable data, and I haven't tried PAN, but it shouldn't matter.) So while I haven't tried that exact configuration, I'm quite sure it will work.

2) Has anybody tried to have a data call and a voice call in progress at the same timeon their handsets? Would be useful to know if this is possible. I will buy a Nokia 5310 soon for this purpose (I know this is not technically the right place to ask this...

For GPRS/EDGE, at least, it's dependent on whether you have a Class A (simultaneous) or Class B (non-simultaneous) handset; with UMTS/HSPA, I don't know, but I think all devices can do both...
