Sounds like it might be the same one I'm using quite happily for
my machines at home:
[from dmesg:]
ugen0: APC Back-UPS ES 750 FW:819.z2.D USB FW:z2, rev 
1.10/1.06, addr 2


Hmm, first snare. My new cable, 940-0024D, is not listed in the
latest stable apcupsd; only 940-0024C. Will it be a problem if
I just set it to 940-0024C? Or perhaps just "UPSCABLE smart"?

Don't worry about it: either will almost certainly work.  
If neither one does, USB will.

Hmm, first snare. My new cable, 940-0024D, is not listed in the

Thanks.

I see you have it on USB. I don't believe USB was very
welly supported in apcupsd, in the earlier days. But I plan to run
it on serial anyway (don't even have USB cables hooked up on
the motherboard, I think).

I have a  Smart-UPS RT 7500 X at work that works quite happily with 
apcupsd, as does the Back-UPS RS 1000 at home. Machines are running 6.1 
and 5.x.

That's assuming I already have the device. :) I don't.
It's reasonably expensive (around E 300), so it seems like a
fair question to ask whether someone happens to know
whether I can do a good controlled shutdown with it.
Especially since I could not with the 350 unit.

I don't quite understand what FreeBSD has to do with it. Is your
hardware 120 VAC 60 Hz compatible? And is the UPS the same?

In less time than spent asking others you could build
/usr/ports/sysutils/apcupsd/ and see whether it will provide automatic
shutdown of your system under UPS control.

APC brand SMART-UPS work quite well with 4.x FreeBSD.  Assuming you 
want to monitor the UPS, make sure you have the correct serial cable and
pick your monitoring program from ports.  I have used apcupsd in a number of 4.x
installs.

Googling FreeBSD and smartups turns up many interesting, relevent hits :)
