At 15:08 8/07/2002, zjoe@sundsu1.deltast.edu sent this up the stick: >The serial connection on the back of the computer is of the 9-pin variety >and is attached to a port labelled "A".

This leads me to believe that >the problem is not hardware related, unless the port on the motherboard >is fried. apcupsd runs fine under FreeBSD, what are the two cables that you have? You can only use cable type 940-0095A with a BackUPS PRO, and you should use either the backupspro or newbackupspro as the UPSTYPE >I have tried other things with apcupsd but have had no luck. >Apcupsd has to be configured (/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf) and I may not be >configuring it correctly. I could post the rest of my tests but I'll >stop here and see if anybody has any ideas. Make sure you follow the Testing APCUPSD chapter of the manual. It is reproduced online at http://www.apcupsd.com If you still want to try another UPS monitor, try NUT from http://www.exploits.org/nut/ I haven't used it, but it's pretty popular.
