I don't have it running under FreeBSD yet , but apcupsd will do this. I have a 900XL connected via Serial to a Linux box, which talks through the network to a Win2k (shush) box. apcupsd is in use on FreeBSD by some members of the apcupsd mailing list, so I know it works. Another tool that *may* work is NUT, which is in the ports tree (../sysutils/nut) Cheers, Rob > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of reinout > > Sent: 15 November 2001 05:49 > > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: APC backup -UPS howto install. > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I have a APC backup-UPS and I am running FreeBSD4.4 server. > > I have connected the UPS with a serial cable, but now I have to install > > some software or enable it in the kernel.
