I'd prefer > something external to the server (i.e not built-in temp sensors). two options that i can think of: 1. "1-wire"/"iButton" devices by Dallas Semiconductor (aka Maxim) http://www.maxim-ic.com/1-Wire.cfm 2. "phidgets", small USB gadgets and sensors and cool geek toys. http://www.phidgets.com/ both have GPL drivers included in the linux kernel, and probably have drivers available for other unixes too. both have temperature sensing devices. craig -- craig sanders <c a s @ t a z . n e t . a u (part time cyborg) ---- email "unsubscribe aussie-isp" to m a j o r d o m o @ a u s s i e . n e t to be removed. |
