Yuck.  Here's some more food for thought and it's cholesterol free.  I
just purchased a DigiTemp kit from Brian Lane for $37.  Hooked it into
my monitoring station yesterday (there are Win32 binaries, but I run
Linux), and it's working great.  Nagios is watching it, and I've got
RRDTool CGI graphs going.
