I'm presently doing some research into a SNMP-enabled device to monitor 
a set of aux contacts on our transfer switch in order to be able to 
monitor it's status (on generator or on commercial) from our monitoring 
platform. I've seen a few interesting devices out there that can 
accomplish this, however I thought I'd query the list to see if anyone 
has thoughts about a particular unit they've worked with.

We have some old NetBotz (now part of APC) in our NOC, and ours have dry
contact ports, so we hooked one up to our transfer switch.  Works like a
champ.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
