They have serial port, but I could not make cable with their description :-( But their UPSes have very loud BEEPEEEP :-)) Also I had some APC UPSes, but they died after 2.5 years (batteries cost more than new Sendon UPS) -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
