Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Does anyone know if I can use this model UPS under FreeBSD? It has software for Linux, SCO, and Solaris/i386, but none of it works under emulation (I tried; trust me). Does anyone know if the communication protocol for this unit is publically available or has been reverse engineered, if so I might take a crack at writing a driver or modifying one of the existing ones (bkpupsd or upsd) to work with this unit. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks! --- Donald Burr *NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!* | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ#16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
