The SmartUPS v/s is pretty stupid; I can ask it it's serial number, model, some of the modes, and tell it to shut down, and that's about it. I need the copy of PowerChute v/s that came with it to slap a line monitor onto. I have OS/2 with SIO in the other half of this computer, and AFAIR it comes with an OS/2 version of PowerChute v/s.
