Check out my bkcsupsd on http://www.ranner.jawa.at/freebsd.php#bkcsupsd but I got a report today, that there may be oddities with the 500EI. It is reported, that the UPS does not alway send the expected codes. It would be nice, if we could track down that problem and to get the 500EI supported. Bkcsupsd works fine with my older BackUPS, but I dont have the exact version in my head at the moment.
