thanks

this "feature" is part of the many "communication" tasks I still have
to handle (my bad!), like test.networkupstools.org (still to be
finished).

So yes, you're welcome to register a demo link, but using the freshly
created http://demo.networkupstools.org/
I've pointed your page, and just regenerated the DNS entries. So it
will take a few more days to propagate.
we'll check later on for something more complete, but in the meantime,
it fills the gap that exists since I've taken over the projects and
since the exploit.org pages have been removed (including the nut
demo).
As a side note, you can always fire up one or more dummy-ups to simulate UPSs.

Finally, I'm still sad to see an APC as a NUT demo ;-p

thanks again,
Arnaud
