I have three smart-ups working with the standard-cable with linux
(haven't tried windows yet, but you could connect the UPS's serial
cable to a different machine then the one you get power with, and get
the UPS's state via network. (See "Monitoring Diagrams" on
http://www.exploits.org/nut/features.html) That works fine for me,
btw.
