I am looking for a device that meets the following criteria. a) Reasonably small. This probably wouldn't be rack mounted; it'd be wall mounted, desk mounted, celing mounted, etc. b) Powered by PoE. c) Is SNMPable over Ethernet. NOT RS232 or serial, or anything archaic like that. Not

Sorry Alex, but I think you are barking up the wrong tree. When you add Ethernet as a requirement then you are asking for an I/O interface that is more complex Ethernet is cheap and trivial, drop some code in one of these (cpu is built into the rj45 socket)

I am looking for a device that meets the following criteria. I'd add: g) Inexpensive, so it can be widely deployed. A Basic Stamp might be the platform for such; but I've retired from hardware hacking projects. I'd suggest queries to sci.electronics.design in hopes of finding someome

g) Inexpensive, so it can be widely deployed. That's why I suggested talking to a college sophomore. This is the kind of thing that electronics engineering students do for a 3rd year project. A Basic Stamp might be the platform for such; I don't think that a Stamp or PICAXE will work. These

I don't know if they're here yet, but, PICs with builitin Ethernet are definitely on the way. I'm not that much of a hardware geek, but, some of the hardware geeks I know have bee talking about these for a while in terms that make me think they're expecting samples any day. Owen --On Thursday,
