isn't there something like a "upsd" out there to handle automatic powerdown upon serial port notification of a power failure? i just came across a working 540VA UPS this weekend for $25.00 [APC 520ES] i'm guessing it's a 540VA as the 120VAC outlets on the back say 4.5A max, even though the model is the 520... it has a serial port [DB-9] on the back of it, and what looks like discrete logic on the charger/inverter board, so i'm assuming it does something like toggle the DSR/DTR, RTS/CTS, or maybe even the CD... any pointers to existing code would be great, as this came with no dox... jim -- All opinions expressed are mine, if you | "I will not be pushed, stamped, think otherwise, then go jump into turbid | briefed, debriefed, indexed, or radioactive waters and yell WAHOO !!! | numbered!" - #1, "The Prisoner" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inet: jbryant@tfs.net AX.25: kc5vdj@wv0t.#neks.ks.usa.noam grid: EM28PW voice: KC5VDJ - 6 & 2 Meters AM/FM/SSB, 70cm FM. http://www.tfs.net/~jbryant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HF/6M/2M: IC-706-MkII, 2M: HTX-212, 2M: HTX-202, 70cm: HTX-404, Packet: KPC-3+
