[lots of stuff about how APC has an attitude similar to the 
now infamous Diamond dot-clock problems-- btw: looks like
Diamond might be taking the XFree86 team a bit more seriously
now, according to the recent Xfree86 3.1 progress report]

Tom Webster <webster@kaiwan.com>  has a very nice document
which he sends to people who're looking to hook up a UPS
to Linux.  It describes exactly how to connect a certain
model from TrippLite which he owns.  (BC750LAN)

It's been my impression that the TrippLites are a bit
more, but after you read his instructions, I think
the TrippLite will look pretty attractive for Linux.

If you have trouble contacting Tom, I have a copy
that I'll be glad to e-mail.
