still on my stack. I've discussed a bit with our QA team, and we are
checking to setup something to test.
I'll give you news asap...
I'm also preparing a FreeBSD system to test with.

btw, MGE *UPS* is dying. You might want to refer to MGE Office
Protection Systems, now part of the Eaton Group, and competitor of MGE
*UPS* (now merged with APC). Yup, a bit complicate, but how wonderful
is the globalization, isn't it? ;-)

cheers
