Hi Edward,
I don't now the answer to your questions, bit maybe the next info can improve the situation: http://www.mgeups.com/download/soft/explore/eng/ptp/ptp_sol.htm?os=LINUX
I've not tried it, but it sounds great (especially because this Red Hat certification: https://www.redhat.com/apps/isv_catalog/VendorProfile.html?vendor_id=1827)
I hope this info will be useful.
