It depends which UPS exactly, and what UPS control software you use. I use NUT, and their compatibility list is there: http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html http://www.networkupstools.org/acknowledgements.html I also use apcupsd, which works only with APC brand UPSs: http://www.apcupsd.org/ Neither of those will give you easy GUI point-and-click installation, but they can manage a whole network with several machines on an UPS or several machines on several UPSs. > The USB UPS is made by Gammatronic. There are some Gamatronic UPSs in the NUT list, I don't know if they are USB or serial. -- Lionel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
