Of course it'd be nice if your UPS monitoring software just found it by
itself, or presented you with a list of candidates.

It does not seem to do so, it being "nut," although I may have missed
something?

I initially tried the Belkin provided Linux software which looks as
though it might be ok, it produces some pretty screens but it wont
accept the password I was asked to enter and verify. As a result I
can't begin to configure it.

I will continue the effort later, just had my morning coffee ...

Thanks.

And when you do get it configured, it will turn into a cpu hog, virtually
killing the system if either gkrellm or its own gui ever query it.

I've tried to email them about it, but their replies always very carefully
talk about other things. After 4 passes at making them understand that a
module compiled on a red hat 5.1 system was not about to work on a modern
system and being totally ignored, I asked the 5th time if I was trying to
teach pigs to sing, and switched to apcupsd. I can at least query the status
like this:

I haven't had any power failures since, so I've NDI how it will react in that
case. The original belkin sw would in fact issue a -wall broadcast and shut
things down gracefully, when it worked...

As far as configuration, apcupsd finds /dev/hiddev0 all by itself. If you
have more than /dev/hiddevX, then it might need some guidance.
