This supports only serial port models in the stable version but supports USB in the experimental version. I use the stable version and have bought Belkin's that have both USB and serial ports on their units for monitoring. This is in their line for UPS-networking. These are pretty good priced too. -Derek At 01:44 AM 11/28/2006, a@zeos.net wrote: >I am going to buy an UPS. >What should I know and take into account to choose a proper one? > >Elisej Babenko >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >-- >This message has been scanned for viruses and >dangerous content by MailScanner, and is >believed to be clean. >MailScanner thanks transtec Computers for their support. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
