At the now defunct redundant.com we used baytech strips with the ds-3
(not the circuit) modules to snmp enable the strips. We were able to
control each port, and monitor load on each port.

I think we used the RPC22s and the DS-3 console server combo. It was a
few years ago so my memory of what we did is a bit fuzzy. Regarding how
accurate the modules are, the baytech gear would only be accurate to the
tenths if my memory serves me, but they may have improved that since mid
'03.
