Reporting Data 1-Way-Out?



Kind of a ramble, hopefully you will get what I'm trying to "say".

I was thinking about using a IIGS to do some data capture (like
outdoor temperature, etc like the stuff from
http://www.vernier.com/legacy/apple/mon.html). But I want the IIGS to
sit in the attic and do it qiuetly, putting the data "somewhere else"
where I can get to it from one of the PCs or Macs in the house. That
would take some hardware as well as software... Since I'd use the
16-pin joystick port to read the data, what would be the smart/cool
way to do 1-way, write-only data output to another computer?

Ideally I'd like to blast it over ethernet so one of the already
LAN-connected computers can get it. 

I wouldn't mind sending the data out of the modem or printer port
using any protocol to one of the LAN computers.

I wouldn't mind using some kind of Gatorbox-ish thing either.
Anything.


Thanks.
