I really like the 1-wire sensors. They are really small, really
inexpensive, and really easy to connect together.
What makes them useful for your question is this $100 unit that
provides an Ethernet bridge.

I'm trying to find a way to have a passive check of a service suffice
as an active check of the same service. We are using Nagios 2.9.
We have lots of filesystems we check via SNMP for both block and inode
usage, and doing active checks for all of these overwhelms our
server. So we run via cron a

I'm a Verizon customer in North Dakota (United States) and the only
cell network available to us is CDMA. (Just in the last 6 months did
we get EVDO.)
Right now we use a modem and dial in to the IXO/TAP number for
Verizon. This works, but I'm concerned about how long Verizon will
maintain a IXO/TA
