So the one computer to which the UPS is connected (via USB, presumably) 
handles the direct notifications from the UPS and then in turn notifies 
dependent systems via the LAN? And you don't have to hack that together 
yourself? Both the local and remote sides are supported directly by 
apcupsd? If so, that sounds pretty good.

I was thinking you could script such things, but it seems tedious, 
clunky and more work to test than I'd care to undertake.
