Can anyone recommend a good UPS that [you know] works with SuSE. In other words, a UPS that can be interfaced to provide auto graceful shutdown of the computer. I'd like 700-900 VA (400-550watts), 10-15 minutes run time at 400 watts, affordable for a poverty-stricken geek, and from a competant manufacturer. Is that asking too much? I now have a Trip Lite SmartPro 700, The vendor (Page Computer) advertised it as having both USB and DBD-9 serial ports, but it arrived with only USB, and I cannot figure out how to get the USB port to work with Linux. Or, do you know a power-control program that works with Tripp Lite USB. (Trip Lite support was marginally responsive.) Thanks ... Reed, alta@alta-research.com
