It all depends what UPS software you plan to use. For example, upsd only supports the APC Smart-UPS, but NUT supports Back-UPS Pro (and maybe BackUPS). I'd pick the software first and then select a UPS that it will talk to. I believe NUT is the most comprehensive open UPS software available. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Gelu G.
