Usually, if you are willing to interface the UPS with your Computer, like it
should automatically shutdown the computer when there's a power failure, then
you may want to buy one with USB support. But I am not sure that you can

I believe they have the BackUPS _Pro_ 280, the larger brothers

they all use the same protocol, the difference is between the smart
ups and the backups. all smartups use one protocol all backups
use another.
The very newest ones with usb and such might have changed this, I
don't know.

That's also true

Does the 650 work well with FreeBSD? I can get a refurb 650 from
APC for the same

1) apcupsd does not currently support USB connections for
FreeBSD.
2) There is a _beta_ version - availiable at

Hi all,
I am interested to buy a brand new UPS for a host with:
# uname -a
FreeBSD host.domain.com 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb

This is Dell PowerEdge 2600 that comes with 2 USB and 2 serial ports
apcupsd was written for Linux and it doesn't work with USB UPS devices
on FreeBSD due to the hefty differences in the USB implementation
between Linux and FreeBSD.
The last time I looked there weren't any USB based UPS monitoring
services for FreeBSD.

Hello,
sorry if it is wrong place to address this issue to...
Could anybody port apcupsd daemon or something else on FreeBSD to support
APC UPS USB connection?
Or is it already done?
Regards,
Konstantin Nizhegorodov.
