	I have figured out about 90% of the APC Smart UPS Protocol and I
was wondering if there were some people out there interested in
getting the information.  I know that APC only releases the info on
their Smart Series UPS's on a NON-Disclosure Agreement only basis, but
I did not get the info from them I figured it out on my own.  If any
of the FreeBSD community is interested E-Mail me & I'll send you what
I have.  The info includes Cable pinouts, Serial port parameters, what
the MAJOR commands are, and what the UPS sends back. The information
you can get back from the ups is:

Battery Voltage
Load on ups in %
Line Frequency
Input Line Voltage
Input Max Voltage
Input Min Voltage
Output Voltage

You can start a self test, Test all LED's on front panel, get ups soft
rev, and shutdown UPS.  If you are interested EMail me at;

	pth3k@galen.med.virginia.edu

I will try to send you the info that day. 

                            Thanks,
