With the recent talk on UPS support, I thought that this document
seems interesting (even though it comes from the M$ no Knowledge base)
I have had problems getting hold of these cables in the past as my
distributor either wouldn't or couldn't tell me the config ...
I haven't tried it yet but if someone wants to, good luck....
by the way, Joerg, how is your UPS support doing as I would like to
look at it.
