I don't recall there being specific versions of the software when I 
installed mine. IIRC there was a single "Unix" version, which included 
binaries for Solaris and Linux x86. It worked fine, all I needed to do, 
was to tweak the startup script a bit.

[newbie] Belkin UPS

2002-06-30 Thread Carroll Grigsby

I finally purchased and installed a Belkin F6C525-SER UPS. (The SER 
means that it can communicate to the box via a serial connection -- in my 
case, ttyS0/COM1). My next step is to install software that will shut my 8.2 
system down when the power dies. Belkin offers Linux software to do this for 
various distributions. Sadly, Mandrake is not one of them, so I'll probably 
try Belkin's Redhat 7.2 stuff, but I'd like to hear from someone who has been 
down this road about pitfalls, alternative software. Really Good News is also 
acceptable.
