cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ 2008/12/24 Johan Adler <[email protected]>: > My UPS is an Exide NetUPS SE PRC1500i (1500 VA), also known as > Powerware 5119, according to Karl Schmidt > (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2005-July/000026.html) > also Deltec PowerRite Pro II, and according to > http://www.usedups.de/compaq_ups.html also Compaq R3000h.
