We have a setup for this. I use a "carpc" http://www.mini-box.com The VoomPC-2-Car-PC is the one we use currently. Put debian linux on it, with a davis weather station and usb link. Then I have a perl script that collects data from the weather station, and have SNMP running to gather other data from each site. Has Cacti running on them for data collection and well as syslog. Each "carpc" has an 80 gig HD and gig of ram.I have a few that have 802.11 cards or USB sticks on them for some basic stuff like freq monitoring etc.. All done with linux.. Best of all its 12 volt and these work well in harsher environments.
