APC UPC + YellowDog Linux?

[Don Montalvo]

I did a search of the archives and the YellowDog site but I haven't 
been able to find clear, concise instructions on how to set up an APC 
UPS with a Mac running YellowDog Linux.

I live in Manhattan and I'm running YellowDog Linux 2.3 (Apache 
1.3.x) on a Wallstreet Powerbook (233mhz/384M/6G). I didn't install a 
GUI since it's just functioning as a web server (and I need to keep 
my CLI skills up to snuff).

I purchased two BE725BB APC UPS's:

One is protecting my workstation and the second is going to (I hope) 
protect my YDL/Wallstreet server. I wouldn't worry so much if the 
built in battery in the darned thing worked...but I can't afford to 
get a replacement Wallstreet battery and I'd much rather get this APC 
UPS working.

Anyone been able to get this to work? I have a simple home 
network...no SNMP here. Just a dinky YDL/Wallstreet webserver that 
died when the lights went out.

Thanks,
Don
