This is a bit commercial for comp.sys.isis, but I am posting it because it may be of interest to our readers (who get a discount, presumably to encourage me to post this here). I see no reason that this sort of device couldn't be connected to META. I think I should also make it clear that I have no direct experience with this particular device or vendor and am not in a position to comment on how reliable the device is, or anything of that nature. > From: mis@seiden.com (Mark Seiden) > Subject: temperature sensors... > this might interest you...
