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 was at a trade show yesterday and they had some interesting boxes for remote control. They don't meet your spec but someone might be interested. This box has serial and digital control connections but works via GPRS rather than Ethernet. Makes an interesting back door that could be

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,
