I'm using a Best USV, they provide also BSD code with the UPS.
Unfortunately only a old implemantaion of BSD, but I could solve the
problem with help from the usenet. Thanx Joerg!
I don't know if you are able to buy such a UPS at your area, but if you need
help the source or the "patch" leave me a mail!
>Thank you,
You are welcome!
regards Dirk
