Ok, I've downloaded and installed the program and followed the defined test
sequence. Unfortunately neither the default settings, nor any of the
pre-defined DAT files are correct for the Centralion Blazer UPSes that we have.
The monitor either reports low battery and starts a shutdown or reports
everything OK but doesn't recognise when the power is removed from the UPS.
Since these are supported by the Linux fraternity, perhaps we can extract
sufficient information from them to produce an additional DAT file for UPSMON/2
to support these UPSes ??

Cheers/2

Ed.
