    According to what I am reading, APC highly
    reccomends using the PowerChute Small Business
    Edtion. The network Powerchute works on the
    network interface module that is purchased seperately.

    On my old Back-UPS (APC) I used a older third
    party software that could be setup as master and
    slave. Hoever, it was only for simple signalling.

    Supposedly Power chte will do the same but I
    haven't found anything yet.
