One other thing that I am looking for has anyone done anything with the Parallel port as an input. What I would like to do is when the site is running on generator I have a logic line that goes high and would like the repeater to say a message like every 15 minutes while the generator is running?
Have you looked at NUT? http://www.networkupstools.org/ NUT is an existing set of tools for monitoring UPS and backup power supplies, with a mechanism for distributing the status to client apps. Can you hook your generator up to a serial port (it seems that NUT monitors a serial line) and then get app_rpt to poll NUT status? 73, Andrew
