If you have a smartups, it is just cut and paste in the apc* source files. Each "supported" model has a datastructure of various parameters...why these are hardwired in and not runtime determined is beyond me...but just cut and paste to make a new one and change the name. I was able to add a SmartUPS v/s without any documentation which is a lot more difficult that adding a different size of the SmartUPS. However, I'd still rather find some different software. The upsd is just too wierd. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
