Yes, we have a piece of software (upsd) and it works.  Having *just*
gone through this I recommend that you get the UPS SmartUPS (not the
SmartUPS V/S).

After someone sent me a configuration file for the V/S (which I got
unfortunately), I'm running UPS'd right now.  Every once in a while I go
pull the plug on it to freak out co-workers and prove that the software
really works.

The upsd stuff is sitting in the incoming directory on freefall.
