Hi gang,
	on a related note, i saw a UPS unit (Model 700 1.2 KVA) from SOLA the 
other day. Their installation and operations manual has all the smart mode 
protocol specs in it. It also gave the cable pin outs(UPS side). It uses DB9
 connector to talk to the PC. I have no idea about the pricing.  One of the 
pages also has a note that says

 If you are writing your own software to interface with the UPS the preferred 
mode to use is computer mode.

	I guess they encourage if you want to write your own software. 

If anybody is interested here are the phone numbers,

	Ph:(708)439-2800	fax: (708)439-1160
	   (800)289-7652	     (800)626-6269

Remember, 
	i got no interest in that company and i am not liable for any 
decisions you make depending on this info.

have fun,
cheers
