<br>you're probably looking for a driver for a serial, USB or SNMP enabled UPS?<br>to support you, we need the answers to the following questions:<br>- exact name of the UPS?<br>- approximative age of the UPS?<br>- communication port type (serial, USB or SNMP)?<br>
- is there any provided software?<br><br></div></div>cheers,<br>Arnaud<br>-- <br>Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - <a href="http://www.eaton.com/mgeops">http://www.eaton.com/mgeops</a><br>Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - <a href="http://www.networkupstools.org/">http://www.networkupstools.org/</a><br>
