I've hooked up a small inexpensive Webcam to my internet-connected laptop. The camera focuses on the remote display of my ET-73.
Since my job requires 24-7 response at times, and work is fairly close to home, I can now safely leave the WSM cooking and still monitor the temps if I'm at the office.
Next project is to find voice recognition software that will key on the beeps from the remote when it sets off the alarms. If it can recognize the beeps, it's a simple task from there to fire off an e-mail and/or a page.
