This matches what Thomas Jarosch suggested elsewhere in this thread, and is fine with me. I'll wait for the DNS update to happen before I add the link to Freshmeat. > we'll check later on for something more complete, but in the meantime, > it fills the gap that exists since I've taken over the projects and > since the exploit.org pages have been removed (including the nut > demo). Works for me. > As a side note, you can always fire up one or more dummy-ups to simulate UPSs. I am out of time to play with this. I proposed my site as a demo because doing so had ~0 cost for me (it was already online anyway). Note that I am not insisting on my setup being used as a demo. If anybody has something better, let's use it. > Finally, I'm still sad to see an APC as a NUT demo ;-p He he, I understand ;) That's always the same story... I've been telling everyone around me that I was about to replace my UPS, nobody provided any suggestion about what I should buy or not, and when I finally announced that I went for an APC model, several people told me that they had better experience with other brands. Sigh. Next time I think I'll just claim I have bought the hardware _before_ I actually do, so that people tell me what they think about it ;) That being said, for what I'm doing, this particular APC model is working good enough for me, so I'm happy with what I have. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
