I like APC UPS equipment as do most people I know.  My friend Keith the 
electrical engineer swears by them, and my fried Gary who designs 
electronic devices swears by 'em also.

I have had lots of trouble finding monitoring solutions for Linux, but 
there is evidently an apc rpm on redhat, I think I downloaded it, but I'm 
not yet running it.

You'll probably need to buy the cable from APC, but I'm not 100% sure you 
can't use a std cable or build your own.

I like to overbuild my UPS solutions.  Do they have like a model 600 or 
something like that ?  I think that's what I buy...

I know I spend about $560 each for UPS's and they can go for about 1/2 
hour or more...  (not the cheap 10-15minute jobs...)

They even make beautiful rack-mount UPS's !  But I'm not rich yet...
