I use APC, because the explicitly support Linux, even providing the Linux version of their powerchute program on their website.
Copy of my email to CyberPower and their response -
We have no drivers or software for Linux but the USB port is a power class hid port so if the version of Linux supports Power Class HID USB devices then the ups will be recognized as batteries within the OS power manager and can be controlled.

What a putz. Just enough information to...make you wish you had the information you actually need. Worthless :-( What is NECESSARY is what the UPS send out on the serial line to indicate that line power has been lost.

I am interested in the CyberPower Systems CP1350AVRLCD UPS and wonder what you can tell me about using it under Linux systems. Is there drivers available for it, and if so can you supply me with information on them? In particular I am running computers with SuSE Linux.
Thanks... Marc Chamberlin
