*shrug* I think all the UPSs I've seen for consumers in the last five years seem to have a USB port to go to the computer. That, and apcupsd, are all you need.
APC UPSes are supported by apcupsd. Other brands, not so much. Some (read: cheaper models) have their own special protocol and don't include Linux support. These solutions are intended for the cheaper or otherwise 'unsupported' UPSes. It *sounds* like the OP does not need something smart and is probably looking for something cheap.
