[ale] OT: UPS

[danlambert at bellsouth.net (Dan Lambert)]

I've had serious issues with a couple of the Belkin UPSs, and won't buy 
another one. One that I had worked fine as long as the utility power was 
available, but as soon as you lost utility, the unit would run for about 
15 seconds and then drop the load. I tested the battery, and it was 
fine. In fact, I put it in another UPS, and it worked well for over two 
years.

I've got two of the APC RS1500 UPSs, and they are very good units. It 
comes with a copy of APC's Powechute software for Windows, but there is 
also a very good (a couple of them, actually) Linux UPS control 
applications available, and APC has a Linux version available on their 
web site.
