Has anyone used the software from APC (their backup "Plus") for Caldera? If so, does it work properly? If not, what software do you use in KDE to control an APC UPS?

Powerchute is what ships with APC power supplies (don't know what you're talking about 'backup plus') and it's crap. Look into apcupsd. If you have one of the usb comm models you'll need to build from tarball and --enable-usb, but it's completely brainless.
Here's the how-to I wrote the last time I said it was totally brainless and someone didn't get it. http://www.catherders.com/tikiwiki-1.9.0/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=11
Ok......thanks.

Hi Fred, I used the rpm from below on 9.1, the one with USB enabled. They have one for 9.0 and 9.2 as well. Worked great. Made it netmaster and netslaved my 8.2 box too. I have been looking for a 9.3 rpm but haven't found one yet. May have to try the compile a mentioned earlier. Why the SuSE rpm does not have USB enabled is beyond me. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54413&package_id=73150&release_id=314235 Jim Flanaagan linuxjim at jjfiii.co
