The one I've used is the RFXcom reciever (order code 80002 on
http://www.rfxcom.com/receivers.htm).
 It's a bit of a hack,
but I used a wrapper around some of the xPL-perl modules to read the
data off the USB port and then wrote it to both MySQL and RRD.

Seems to work ok, though it's hardly a cheap solution.
