Mark, I saw your post on freebsd-questions, and I should point out that you can get the RJ45 -> DB9 adapter for free from APC. It took about two months for some reason, but you might be able to speed that along if you give them a call. You should have gotten a card with the unit, which entitles you to a free cable (I did). Unfortunately, I haven't used the cable yet - so I don't know how it works with existing software. I went ahead and took the plunge and got a SmartUPS 750XL, replacing separate UPS' for my server and network gear. The 350 was moved to support a windows box, which uses USB. The 350AV isn't a true "dumb" UPS, as it can send status information via USB (battery capacity) - so it's possible that the serial adapter will provide something between basic signalling and a true smart interface. I'll have to check this out sometime - might be interesting. Good luck, Seth Henry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
