Primary goals:
UPS(s) and Server(s) automatically talk together with no need
for configuration using just 1 cable, the power cable, without the
need for new special power cables
Don't forget not all UPS have computers connected to them but still
need to be monitored for state and condition.
Doug: it sounds like you and Jon B are trying to solve different
problems.
Arjen mentioned something similar before: if you want to see the
status of a single UPS without involving a computer, there are UPSes
with displays on the front. For instance: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842102070
(disclaimer: haven't tried this product.)
Jon: if you want plug-and-play without a separate data cable, that is
a different set of design criteria from James' original post.
Powerline networking hasn't really caught on in mainstream computing,
but HomePlug might be a good starting point.
