Not from APC anyway. > APC has made a lot of older BackUPSs that didn't have the com port that date back to the Color Computer days, you just wern't paying attention. For example the BackUPS 200VA (that unit was discontinued years ago) didn't have one, neither did the BackUPS 250 and 300 VA units from that era. (all of those are discontinued) However the models that didn't have the com port back in the olden days, were all very low, low VA units, under 350VA. It wasn't until modern times that APC decided to screw it all up. Ted
