Peet Brothers weather stations, and the Oregon
Scientific/Huger/Radio Shack non-wireless weather stations (like the
WM-918).

The Dallas/AAG One-Wire weather stations will work if you run the
OWW daemon and connect Xastir to OWW.  This is a cheap way to start
as the AAG is around $100 with shipping, but it only has a few
sensors, so you end up paying quite a bit if you want a
full-featured station.

The Oregon Scientific/Huger/Radio Shack wireless stations work if
you run the WX200 daemon and connect Xastir to WX200.

Davis works if you run MySQL, the db2APRS shim program, and the
Meteo daemon.
