I'm using a LaCrosse WS2350 (just replaced a lightning damaged ws2310 that lasted over 4 years) and putting the data into a database where it can be pulled out and plotted and displayed on a web page that does real-time updates every 5 minutes. The software is called cacti and runs under Windows or Linux (which is what I'm using) and is designed for plotting the state of a computer network. The software to talk to the weather station is called Open2300 and can be found here .

I've only got 3 months of data (out of the last 5 months!!) what with the nearby lightning strike taking out a couple of the remote sensors and teething problems due to a set of bad AA cells but at least as a result of the failure I now have 2 base units, one in the lounge and one connected to the computer.

Note that the WS2350 has the advantage of having a proper aeronometer rather than the turbine arrangement the WS2310 has.
