Call GraceLan and they will send you an evaluation copy that
works just like a real version accept that it only allows a few macs
on it and it blows up after a while.

GraceLan will provide you with more information about remote macs
than you ever wanted to know.  I haven't looked at Status Mac
because it required the user to send some kind of mail message to the
administrator and GraceLan does it automatically.  Unfortunately,
GraceLan doesn't provide a database format for storing the
information it obtains.
