I would like this to be a generic one and almost succeeded. I am finished with configuration and asyncronous port handling, and APC specific part. I am working on event handling and then I'll be able to alpha test. I have reverse engeneered a lot of APC SmartUPS commands but any additional info is greatly appreciated. I am thinking about creating a mailing list for people who would like to joing this project. Until then, please everybody who has anything on SmartUPS or willing to help. Mail me! alexis P.S.
