It describes exactly how to connect a certain model from TrippLite which he owns. (BC750LAN) It's been my impression that the TrippLites are a bit more, but after you read his instructions, I think the TrippLite will look pretty attractive for Linux. If you have trouble contacting Tom, I have a copy that I'll be glad to e-mail.
