The 550SL appears to be in the NUT drivers list. "Cyber Power Systems" "ups" "1" "550SL" "" "genericups upstype=7" Not sure about the Tripp Lite models listed, I didn't see 350VA or 550VA in the list, but I am not as familiar with there models, so they may be compatible with other Trip Lite models listed. A quick check would be to install NUT on your server, and look through the /usr/local/etc/nut/driver.list file. It also contains comments, listing website information to get more information about the supported drivers. -- Thanks, Dean E. Weimer http://www.dweimer.net/
