I haven't had any experience with TrippLite's interface, but I've gotten
very frustrated with java interfaces lately and avoid them if possible.
APC's web interface is both simple and easy. I use their switched rack
PDUs, but I believe the interface is the same for metered. It's simple
and easy, but has enough features to be generally useful to me.
