Monitoring SW is working in M$ Windows. Now, I need to read their
documentation. :-)  33% load with this box and monitor. One graphic in
their Quick Reference guide I couldn't find, but frequently the SW
doesn't match the documentation. All of the UPS I have purchased over
the years have the capability, but this is the first one I've hooked
up.

I use CentOS 98% of the time and will try to install their Linux SW
over the weekend.

Anne: I think if your UPS doesn't have SW in the box it came in, or
available for Download, you should consider taking it back and
exchanging for a UPS that does. They should have it available for
Linux and other OS.  Lanny
