UPSD works pretty nicely I'm told, but it's hard to get to since ftp.ww.net is a small computer in a remote place. Keep trying; I've always had success getting into that machine. If you're still having trouble I can give you the latest source I have. Got any cheap sources for the smart data cable? I tried to build one and had no luck.
