Christopher, I would think twice before buying Belkin Regulator Pro Gold UPS. I've installed one for my friend on a 6.4 system, I must say, it's real big PITA! The driver for this UPS in smartups package (smartups-0.44.1-24) is kinda incomplete. It writes every 10 seconds to syslog UPS status and there is no way to control it. All I managed to do is to redirect those messages to VT instead of /var/log/messages, but it's far from being fine-control. I'd better go with Tripplite or APC BackUPS. -Kastus On Mon, Feb 26, 2001 at 01:33:15PM -0800, Christopher D. Reimer wrote:

I'm thinking about getting a Belkin Regulator Pro Gold UPS (serial vesion, model F6C425-SER). Does anyone know if the included shutdown software is half-way decent, or if the UPS is compatibile with other shutdown software for Linux?
The SuSE hardware support database doesn't have anything on Belkin UPS, and the compatiblity list for NUT doesn't list this particular model. I'm looking for a good UPS since I live Sillycon, CA, where the people are bright but the lights are dim.
Thanks!
