I have a supergoose from them and think it's wonderful.  The goose  
models have ethernet and can output in several data formats (html,  
wap, xml, snmp) as well as send email alerts when conditions go above  
or below alarm levels.  Oh it also has a piercing buzzer that makes  
everyone think the fire alarm is going off if you choose to use it :)

My servers like the dark and my goose tells me when someone turns on  
the light!
