Having also evaluated Linux, I pull this from their UPS How-To:
male DB9 (UPS) fem DB9 (UNIX)
1 CD 7 RTS
2 RD 1 CD
9 RING 5 SGND
This is apparently how the APC cable is wired, although the same author
says it would be better (due to the power-up initialization of the UART)
to use TX (computer pin 3) rather than RTS (pin 7). Haven't had a chance
to DO it, but it's on the list. I spend too much time reading mail!
