As others have mentioned, you have to have the Smart-UPS, not one of the other things that APC produces. You also have to have the correct - non-standard - serial cable. Personally, I use nut - also in the ports - instead of upsd. It deals with a variety of different UPS's. The documentation it installs also covers the serial cable issues pretty thoroughly. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
