Hmmmm. You may be on to something with that idea!   :-) When I
downloaded the SW (45.3 MB, which is enormous, compared to nut or
apcupsd), I did a traceroute on the domain and it ended in .tw
(Taiwan).  I will try testing it your way and see what happens....
BTW, years ago, I worked with a bunch of people from Taiwan and they
were pretty sharp. This WinPower SW is *much* more basic in what it
does than what we were doing in Assembly Language on barefoot mini
computers.
