I tried this back on 5.x and it failed >miserably. It identified the unit, but wouldn't talk to it. I literally have 150+ remote FreeBSD boxes with them and they succeed fantastically... They are configured to shut down the box and power to the UPS outlets on power failure with 25% battery left. All the notification hooks work as expected. They have been working for me since the 5.x days. I have a few in the field running on 5.4 boxes (May 2005) without issue.
