The problem is those old APC units used weird batteries and the replacement cost of that battery is ~$150. It is cheaper to just get a more modern unit that uses 2x $25 replacement batteries. The difference between a USB unit and a serial unit is significant. The serial control is very limited and a controlled automatic shutdown with an automatic reboot is problematic. I used to have a serial unit and unattended use was problematic. -wolfgang -- g+: https://plus.google.com/114566345864337108516/about -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
