Hi Dennis, It is the Bulldog software I am using. The Belkin driver disk does have Linux Bulldog software on it. The software almost works but not quite as the driver cannot find the UPS device (it seems to find the serial ports OK). I have contacted their tech support to see if they can help. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
