I have the Peet Bros. Ultimeter 2000 that's been sitting in the box
since I bought it in '01.  I suppose I ought to hook it up, in fact
that idea did cross my mind today.  Anyway, it is supposed to have
RS-232 capability and, as I recall, the data format is open so a
retrieval script should be near trivial.

There are several others out there.  At least the gentleman at Peet
told me that the sensors would always be supported by the base unit.

HTH,
