You may want to check out Best UPS's (http://www.bestpower.com). They're reliable, and now they come with a free CD-ROM with monitoring and shutdown software. They have versions for all the Win* versions, and for those without Win*, *source code* and instructions for compiling for your unix system. All you need is a free serial port to hook up the UPS to your computer. From the recent ads I've seen, it even comes with the special (non-standard) serial cable you need to hook up to your computer's standard serial port. I haven't had the time to try to install the software for FreeBSD, but it is supposed to allow you to do an orderly shutdown of your FreeBSD machine when the battery starts running low. Gary
