   I got a call from Daktronics (http://www.daktronics.com) the other day.  It
turned out they probably called the wrong person but explained that our student
government was looking at deploying message boards around campus.  They
apparently use a "printer server" (I think the small self-contained ones) to
interface with ethernet.  So maybe all you'd need to do it run some perl script
to program the thing over the network. I suppose that would be more expensive
but maybe more flexible as to location, number, etc.
