You may want to consider MinuteMan...

We have used these and have been extremely pleased with them. They have worked 
both with USB and serial, include all cables, seem well built, have performed 
well and the included SentryII software works on Linux and includes sysv 
style init scripts to make it easy to work with.

I don't own any stock or anything, just a very satisfied customer.
