I was using APC Smart UPS, with the associated software. 2. I had one of these running with a SlackWare installation. 3. This UPS software had the facility to page/e-mail the SysAdmin in the event of an outage. Is it possible that you have connected the UPS to the port that the system expects the modem to be on (for e-mail/paging)? I'm sorry I can't be any more help - as I said, it was a long time ago...
