Anyone on list tried to connect up a Dynamix UPS-1000CL (serial version)
to Ubuntu Karmic via NUT?
Before I invest too much time, I'd like to hear any possible war stories?
Specifically that one? no. However I've used a serial-based 1700 VA
dynamix fairly well, and the more modern USB variant of the same is
utter rubbish and doesn't obey USB guidelines.
YMMV. However, even if you don't monitor the UPS it will still Supply
Uninterrupted Power. At least until the battery gives up.
APC make *damn* fine UPSs, but you pay silly money for them. Also
Liebert are excellent.
Dynamix is fine for a low-end UPS, and in their favour they use alarm
SLA batteries which are reasonably cheap. Brand name UPSs use whacky
battery packs that cost a significant amount.
