This is a bit of a late reply, but it appears that there is a
reasonably inexpensive solution that I had not found when I
originally replied to this message:
http://www.sensatronics.com/TempTrax/index.html
There are serial versions and ethernet-based versions. The serial
version looks simple enough even to connect to the console of a Cisco
for remote access via a script, and the ethernet version doesn't
appear too complex, either. (Does a standard Cisco AUX port provide
DTR power?) The downside is that they're not SNMP-capable directly;
an intermediate glue routine would need to be written.
You can find Nagios (a popular Open-Source monitoring platform)
plug-ins for these devices here:
