I have an APC Back-UPS 500. I found apcupsd-3.5.8-2.i386.rpm at
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/contrib/libc6/i386/apcupsd-3.5.8-2.i386.html.
It has been several months ago that I set it up but I believe I just followed the
information that came with the package. I tested it after installation and several
thunderstorms have since tested it further. It has worked well for me. Give it a
test ride.
Good luck.
