My wife bought me a "noname" UPS a couple of years ago. I was able to
get it working with the generic upsd deamon, even under RedHat 7.2 (and
beyond). It worked well until I upgraded beyond its capabilities. I
had a 300W PS in my computer case when I got it, upgraded to a 450W PS
case, and a new mb, and a few other things, and overtaxed the UPS. Then
I had a PF recently, and the battery was SOL. (oops) Make sure that
the UPS you use can handle the capacity you need to draw through it. B^{
