1) subscribe to the ups mailing list for some good info from time to time. it is very low volume but i've seen some good information on it. the address of the list is: upsd-list@ww.net. i think it's a majordomo list so you'd be able to get info by sending mail to majordomo@ww.net. 2) you can hook up your ups two different ways. one way is to just plug it in and forget about it. the other way is to wire it up via a serial port so your box will shut down automatically in the event of a power failure. of course the second option presumes you've got a ups with battery and serial interface. i've never bothered to wire it up myself... check out ftp.ww.net/pub/wildwind/upsd/ i've never looked there so i can't vouch for what you find. scotto p.s. the linux folks have (or used to have) a pretty good howto describing how to prepare your system for a new ups and how to connect the interface - much of it is not os dependant. >---------- >From: Tushar Patel[SMTP:tushar@ecpi.com] >Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 1996 5:53 PM >To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org >Subject: UPS for freebsd? > > >Hi, > >I am planning to put UPS for my freebsd box (2.0.5).
