on a side note..  I've been playing around with my setup with the 1200AVR..

If I yank the plug, the system will run for about 3-5 minutes and just 
shut off.

when I am monitoring the ups from the /cgi-bin/, it will show the ups 
drop to about 65% battery, and then it will start to climb back up and 
hold steady at ~70%.  Then all of a sudden, it'll (the ups) will shut 
off (and not gracefully).  once I reload the system, it shows the 
battery recharging @ ~95%.

you folks have any ideas, except that the driver isn't working correctly?

btw, it also takes a power cycle of the unit to get power back.
