Geeze - I hope that system is only temporarily down, anyway you can get it here: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com/software/upsd-2.0.1.6.1.tgz It uses the standard black Windows cable. The grey special "UNIX" cable is for plugging in a smartups and controlling it with software like bkpupsd, which is the "dumb" mode.
