Have you refered to the apcupsd web page. Look here for the full info http://www2.apcupsd.com/3.10.x-manual/supported.html Here are 2 excerpts Supported Operating Systems, UPSes and Cables Please note that due to the lack of Unix USB API standards, the USB code in apcupsd works only on Linux. Drivers for other OSes can be written, but it requires someone with a knowledge of the OS and the USB to do so. (This lack of a Unix USB API interface is one of the big failings of Unix. It occurs in other areas such as the GUI. Many people tout the diversity as an advantage, but it is in fact a weakness.) and BackUPS CS USB, Pro USB, ES USB, RS/XS 1000, RS/XS 1500, and probably other USB models ->USB From this I would infer that your ups is a USB driven ups only and you may have problems with connecting to it. I guess it would depend on the port and whether it has been suficiently modified to work with usb on freebsd. Maybe give it a go. I am not familiar with the backUPS model. I have the smartUPS'. With them you can buy a serial expansion card. If you can buy one of these it may be a solution. last time I set up apcupsd I found it to be easy if you look at the above site. Just give it a go. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
