that wasn't it in my case cos I don't use
those mailto links, I always type the addresses into my
mail client.

I had a similar experience, I then typed in the address manually and it 
worked! No reason for that, once contact was established it became quite 
normal with no bounces, so perhaps something is screwy on the web page.

Try MRI in Melb.  They had these Sola 510's by the pallett full at $50
each only about 2 weeks ago.  They looked almost brand new.

I got a Sola 750wa for that price from them.

They are not normally standard serial cables. The pinouts are weel dinfied
(usually), so you could just make your own...

The batteries are quite heavy for a good UPS, so shipping might make the
exercise a little expensive.

[SLUG] UPS serial cable

[Dave Fitch]

I noticed second hand UPS' for sale at
www.pcrecyclers.net (checking out those HP machines
Simon was looking at).  They're Sola 510 600VA models
and look quite good for $149.  They'll add the serial
cable as well for an extra $18, so my question is: 
are they special cables? (I remember hearing something
about UPS' taking special cables before?)
Cos if they're standard ones I can dig up an old one
off a modem and save $18.

Ta,
Dave.
