all the dallas semiconductor 1-wire (ibutton) stuff works fine with unix. the rs232 interface i've used is the DS9097U-009, and i've used both a thermochron ibutton with it and http://www.ibutton.com/products/readers.html the thermochron starter kit is good and it includes all the stuff you need: http://www.ibutton.com/ibuttons/1921Kit.html if you want to rig up remote thermistors you should look into the DS1920/DS1820/DS18S20 devices. on the ibutton web page there is a link somewhere to a bunch of code to manipulate these devices. there is a "temp.c" program which reads the temp of a DS1920, so you could wrap that up in a mon monitor script to do the temp monitoring you need. i used to use a little gadget from spiderplant.com for this purpose, but it broke and they stopped selling them, anyway. the DS9097U-009 is less expensive and serves the same purpose. _______________________________________________ mon mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
