All sorted - in the config file I had to specify the UPS-->server serial cable by explicit part code ('940-0024C') rather than use the generic 'smart'. Thanks anyway!

I'm using a supported cable (according to the utility's Web site). I've followed the troubleshooting tips on the app's Web site with no luck - the only bit that I can't resolve is it recommends disabling logins on ttySn - how's this done as I can't find any notes on the site or via a google search. Does anyone have any experience of this utility - and any tips?
