Hi Don, Thanks for the reply. But yes, APC is selling in India the models it can't sell anywhere else. My 500 VA Back UPS (purchased new last month) does not have any cuaa/usb interface. It's not just APC alone, there's a whole lot of companies that throw their junk in here in this country. Thankfully FreeBSD is not one of them. Regards Manish Jain "Donald J.

As best I can tell from the OP's description, and the APC website, they all have a UPS port. Go from there. Don --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Bring photos to life!
