Well there are a bunch of managment stations on the market now days.  I have
not heard of any PD ones though.  If low price is what you are looking for
take a look at WatchTower (from InterCon) it is a very low cost SNMP managment
station that runs on the Macintosh. It costs about 25% of most of the other
managment stations.  Drop me a line for more information.

If anyone has any info on PD stations please let me know.  Also, has anyone
put together a list of stations?
