I am about to retire my Sun Solaris workstation and replace it with a Intel box (A Dell Inspiron 530) running Ubuntu. My UPS (an APC SmartUPS2200) only has a serial port for communicating with its controlling host. The Sun has a serial port, but the Dell doesn't.
So ... what kind of serial port should I get? I don't really want to waste a precious PCI slot on a serial card (unless I can get a combo card with, say, an RS232 port and a firewire port). OTOH, I know nada about the USB to RS232 adaptors now widely available. Any suggestions, thoughts, etc., gratefully accepted. Happy New Year. Hugh. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
