Network Attached Temperature Monitor?

[phiscock-g851W1bGYuGnS0EtXVNi6w at public.gmane.org]

Two possible solutions that come to mind -

Phidgets
http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?category=6
USB connected, they provide various drivers for different programming
languages, (I believe) you have to write the software to access their
hardware.

Syscomp (us)
http://www.syscompdesign.com/products.html
DVM-101 (Mastech MS8226) digital voltmeter with temperature sensor. We
provide open source Tcl software for reading the instrument, logging the
data and/or plotting the variable (such as temperature) vs time.

The advantage of the multimeter is that it has its own readout, so you can
use it independently of a computer,  or plug it into a USB port for
logging. You could modify the software we provide to use the Tcl HTTP
routines to send data over a network connection.
