isn't there something like a "upsd" out there to handle automatic
powerdown upon serial port notification of a power failure?

i just came across a working 540VA UPS this weekend for $25.00 [APC 520ES]

i'm guessing it's a 540VA as the 120VAC outlets on the back say 4.5A
max, even though the model is the 520...

it has a serial port [DB-9] on the back of it, and what looks like
discrete logic on the charger/inverter board, so i'm assuming it does
something like toggle the DSR/DTR, RTS/CTS, or maybe even the CD...

any pointers to existing code would be great, as this came with no
dox...
