Sorry for answering my own question -- I have used the 
programs from http://www.eng.auburn.edu/~doug/ups.html.
The cable pinout is:

DB9 Female (PC port)     DB9 Male (UPS)

Pin #5 (SG)<--------------> Pine #4 (ground)
Pin #8 (CTS)<-------------> Pine #2 (Power Failure)
Pin #4 (DTR)<-------------> Pine #1 (UPS shutdown)
Pin #1 (DCD)<-------------> Pine #5 (Low Battery).

There also should be a resistor (10k ohm) on the PC side,
connecting pins 1 and 7, but I didn't have it.
The setup worked without the resistor.
