The last time I used a UPS they were all serial! Windows NT4 had built in support IIRC. I'm still seeing serial devices in 2012.

Yep, serial based. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cadwx0+ke1mk+ca39-cjp9f4v6vzcuvwcpaql+pbckekz0u7...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
