The Elk Magic Module series may do what want. Depending on what you need in
the way of managing valid tag ID's, you would have do more or less
programming.

I bought the promity reader a couple of months ago to add to my existing
Magic Module network but have not yet installed it. I bought it from
http://www.basshome.com/. It arrived lickety-split, no-fuss no-muss at a
good price.
