There is a Thanks for the reference. It was very useful. But since I do not intend to use network control (yet), this wil not affect me. // upsd daemon in the ports collection that is pretty quirky, but // does work with SmartUPS and SmartUPS v/s models. I've seen it, but it appears to support only 220v models and has a very poor documentation. I've once made my own upsd daemon, for BackUPS, but now I need something a bit more powerful. PowerChute could be the answer. I have been using the netware version of it for 5 years, at least. I've also tried the Linux apcupsd (binary only), but it also seems to have an ioctl emulation incompatibility. And I thought serial ports were the most portable device between unixen, after /dev/null. :) BTW: Is there some way to request a signal from the serial port when some line or modem control bit changes ? The serial chip generates interrupts for then, but I ould not find an Unix signal equivalent. :( Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
