I second Arjen's comment. that being said, if you really want to do it yourself, the 2 below links may be useful: - http://www.arduino.cc - LCD Nut : http://www.webbastards.com/projects/ Otherwise, any other appliance (ie not a real computer, but an embedded device that use Linux) can be suitable... cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
