Does anyone know if there is any support for uninteruptble power supplies(UPS)
for FreeBSD available?  The UPS has a serial port which is meant to send signals
to the host that the power has gone out, thus (presumably) shutting down the 
machine.  Does anyone know if this has been implemented?

Thanks,
-Ron
