We got an APC SmartUPS 650 on our servers, you can get an 'NT monitoring
cable' from Harris Tech and use it with... oh i forget which
ups-monitoring software, but the cable works with it. note: ups cables
aren't plain serial

for Linux although it would probably be a lot easier to set up (given the

have you actually read the IP-Masqurade howto? its got an entire section

Why, Netscape... You hog my memory.
Why, Netscape... You use up all my RAM.
You slow it down, and so I took away your sweet blink tag.
Why, Netscape... You churn my hard disk.
Why, Netscape... You take a year to load.
If you must stay, we must dispense with bloat and this delay.

The really bizarre thing is that the FreeBSD version of netscape

I have to agree with you there, but mostly in the server/gateway area; but
having said that I have to admit to having one client with 30 Linux boxes
spread across two states, right down to the desktop and not a Window in

As for dropping out of uni,
a) continue with the degree (will take another 3 years at current
rate) and find another job in which i would get a chance to develop
linuxy skills?
b) stay with the job and ditch (or defer) uni in favour of some sort
of linux-based/related training, which could see me using such skills
except that i dont have enough spare time between work
and uni to really get into playing/working with linux and this is
frustrating me.
