Make sure your UPS has a serial connection -- currently, there is no
monitoring daemon that supports USB on FreeBSD.  As for hardware, on
general principles I'd suggest sticking to companies that provide
hardware documentation --
http://www.exploits.org/nut/library/status.html has a (not necessarily
complete) list.

I reccomend NUT(Network UPS tools), www.exploits.org/nut/ is the URL I
think, sample:

http://portal.aphroland.org/cgi-bin/nut/multimon.cgi

or, embedded in a webpage:
