genericups 5 puts -12 on SD, +12 on DTR, and -12 on RTS. This all makes sense to me (and is compatible with measurements) for genericups 5 except for one bad thing: If I simulate AC Fail and Low Batt by feeding -12 volts to computer pins 1 and 8, my computer does not shut down. The daemon is running, but no cigar.
Do you have the resistors between 4 and 1 and 4 and 8 when you are testing? I would think that they would have to be present for the software to detect a valid level change. RS-232 inputs can swing either way if they are simply open circuited. Applying the -12v to 1 and 8 might not actually be changing their states. -- Regards, Malcolm KMail l.3.1 -- KDE 2.2.2 -- SuSE Linux 7.3 Remove the dots to email me
