I mailed the support mob at support@bestpower.com and someone mailed back to me saying that they now have bsdi support and I should download it from www.bestpower.com I did this and have had a bit of a play but so far no luck. Would com1 be /dev/ttyd0 ? If so either my com port is faulty or bsdi support is not the same as FreeBSD support. They provide the source code on their "free software" download thingo so I guess they can't be too worried about people looking at it so if anyone is interested I'll send it as well. Is there an easy way to test my com port? The only way I know is to install XFree86 and see if the mouse works. any clues would help thanks again Andrew Perry perrya@shoal.net.au > > > G'day all > > > > we've purchases a sola510 ups and unfortunately it doesn't come with > > precompiled binaries for FreeBSD.
