The last time I saw some Java software for a UPS it had its own JRE embedded.. they used a portable language in a very non portable way. I seem to recall after some investigation it was actually megatec but I never had the opportunity to try NUT on it (it was in Indonesia and I am in Australia). The megatec page does suggest you may need the dtr, rts & sendpace parameters before it will work. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
