Here's a link to a thread when I was creating a new type for a UPS (Mitsubishi). There should be some useful information there:
http://www.mail-archive.com/jffnms-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03809.html And on another note, I'll be working on adding support for APC PDU's (power distribution units/Power Strips) next week, so I'll be submitting that data to the list and to Javier. This will be useful to anyone that uses these in racks, and should be universal for all APC PDU's. If anyone is curious about these, these and the "Power Tower XL's" from another company seem to be the creme of the crop, but the APC's are WAY cheaper. --falz On 1/19/06, Ben Lentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That's sort of where I'm at, too.
