[Nut-upsdev] RE Basic Question

as you might have noticed, I'm working for MGE and I reserve my 
@mgeups.com
mail address for MGE customers.
Anyway, I don't have any APC knownledges, and there is nothing more about
APC than what has been reverse engineered by our developers and 
contributors
as APC hasn't helped us at all.

So if you find any more information, don't hesitate to post (if not 
protected
by some kind of NDA) on the nut list as it might be useful to NUT 
developers.
