FWIW, these appear to be the same product, re-labeled by two different companies... unless it's just a coincidence that these devices have the same back panel with three RJ-45 plus DC-in and blue curved housing? http://www.akcpinc.com/company/sensorprobe.html http://www.uptimedevices.com/sh2plus.html http://www.uptimedevices.com/productpdfs/sh2plus.pdf My guess is that it's made somewhere in Taiwan or mainland china and might be available at a much lower cost. :) Eric Kuhnke At 01:32 PM 4/23/2003 +0200, you wrote: >The easier answer is "define cheap".
