[plug] Weather Station online

[Paul Baumgarten]

I figure this is probably a bit of a long shot but you get that...

The college has purchased a Davis Instruments Weather Monitor II weather
station.  This station came with software to interact with a Win9X client.
The Davis Instruments web site (www.davisnet.com) also provided links to a
stack of alternative products that will interact with their weather station,
all of which were Win9X/NT based (except one product that was for MacOS
:-) - unfortunately nothing for Linux.

The friendly website at Davis _does_ come with the technical specs to write
your own software however since I am certainly no programming super-guru it
would take me weeks to get anything that might work and I don't have that
sort of time on my hands.

My post to PLUG is on the off chance that someone else has one of these
weather stations (apparently a lot of people use them) and has come across
some Linux based software that will interact with it.

If this post gets no replys I will assume I've caused a lot of blank looks
out there.
