Hi Ben
We run OpenGears at Simwood. They do various flavours some with 3G; =
we=E2=80=99ve used both the 3G and the ethernet variety and all worked =
well. Serial access is essentially ssh to the console server specifying =
a custom port that relates to the serial port. They also support the =
addition of other sensors, e.g. temperature. The smallest one is 4 ports =
but I can=E2=80=99t presently see it on their website.
cheers
