	1) apcupsd does not currently support USB connections for
FreeBSD.
	2) There is a _beta_ version - availiable at
"http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5525131&forum_id=26961"
that may work.  If you can afford to install and test this version,
please do so as it will not be added to main apcupsd code-base and
therefore not be part of the port until more testing occurs.
