 I am using that software (I think mine is actually from 1998) with a
 Fenton PowerPal UPS.  You need the 3.x compat libraries installed.  It
 is not fancy but gets the job done.  I can not say for sure that it
 would work with your UPS however.

Humm, I've just found out that latest NUT supports SMS along
MANY other UPSes. :)
Furthermore, they even have documentation on how to build
the serial cables. That's just EXCELENT software.
I'm trying it tomorrow if I can get the NUT port updated
