Other than that (and maybe as a better choice) you could take a look at NUT at http://www.networkupstools.org/ The driver there for the Belkin UPS seems to work OK too with FC1. Check out http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ups/ for a system V start/stop program for Belkin-supplied driver and details about the NUT serial driver for the Belkin UPS's. I just use the serial cable that came with the UPS and it works fine. Are you using a serial port connector that is directly on the MB of your computer or one of those ones that connect with a little cable? I there there are a couple of versions of the wiring for the cable type (I had to rewire mine). In retrospect, Belkin would not be my first choice for a UPS under Linux. MDG seems to have good Linux support. Mike Hi Mike I lost the cable for the UPS, therefore I had to roll my own. I am using the serial port connector that is directly on the MB of my computer. I am going to check NUT and the other addresses. What is the pinout of your cable? Thanks!
