I too emailed them today, will report if I get a reply. They have software for Linux, gratis, but without sources, so they are more "Linux friendly" than many others, but maybe not enough, depending on your needs. For the record: After looking for a few more minutes at the output of strace, I managed to talk to the UPS with minicom. grepping nut for "Q1" shows that many drivers use it, and the few I looked at also get a reply with the same format, so it's not clear which one to choose. I will try some and report if I have a winner. > 2. Nut has a sponsoring company (published on its web site) and provides > open source and open protocols for their line of UPS.

I simply bought the cheapest one that seemed ok to me. Since I didn't know about nut until after I bought the UPS (I searched only zap before parchasing), and since Advice has some Linux support according to their web site, I figured it was good enough. The Israeli rep does not have a website, only email. Maybe I should have searched more and contacted them before buying, don't know. Anyone here bought from them? -- Didi ================================================================= 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]
