UPS support is hazy at best. I don't know of any UPS manufacturer that supplies code or FreeBSD binaries that we can actually fix. I'm in contact with APC and was able to swipe a smart-mode cable from them. I have two programs that report they work with the APC hardware. One, upsmon, came off the 2.2.2 CDROM in xperimnt/. It looks like the PowerChute display from Windows. The second, upsd, is a highly configurable monitor daemon. Once I get the cable I'm going to hack on it. upsd comes from ftp://ftp.ww.com/pub/wildwind/upsd. Its in Russia and is a small machine so connecting can be difficult. If you can get the protocol spec to the Sola it may be possible to hack upsd to support it. Its targeted at smart monitoring and not dumb monitoring, but I might be willing to change that.
