Then, thats got to be a really old, old one. I've been working (playing
with actually) with computers since the color computer. I won't admit
to anything further back than that. I've never seen one that didn't
have some means of communication (monitoring). Not from APC anyway.
I think the model number from the case would tell us a lot. I think...
therefore I sometimes blow smoke.

Lol in my own opinion, if the user that asked the question can't

assumption as true :) I can hardly see how he would manage to compile
and configure apcupsd :)
