Unfortunately, it only comes with software for SCO and UnixWare versions of UNIX. Anybody out there ever write up anything that will allow this to "communicate" with my FreeBSD system. Don't need anything real fancy, just the ability to have a 'controlled' shutdown before the UPS runs out of power and if possible leave it in a mode that allows it to restart when power returns. Any help appreciated.
