Ok. Looks adequate for what you're needing. Any other plans? I've found several other projects but I've not got my mind around them yet to know how they work and if they would be suitable for my needs. > We're running this particular system on a P3-700Mhz tower > that was laying around; for our main research projects we use > the Sheeva Plugs, which I do recommend...the sheeva's are a > great device for things such as this. Yes, they certainly look cool. I'm waiting for the GuruPlug variant to become available. Until then I have several PC based options, but I don't perceive their reliability to be as good as these low power, silent and diskless/fanless options. > For logging, we are > using a perl script and owperl to sleep for 5 min, then read > "fasttemp" from the uncached directory on all of our sensors, > storing the values into a mysql db.

Ok, that sounds like a good idea. Anyway thanks for the tips, I really need to make some fast progress as spare time is at a premium and the air temperature is getting chilly...
