Thank you! I feel better about not finding the packages for nut, when I searched with yum! :-) I hope apcupsd will work with this UPS, if I can configure it properly. I will try apcupsd again. What should I change in the config for apcupsd? Just a little bit of knowledge, which is what I have about Linux, can be *extremely* dangerous.... I had come up with the idea that I might need to "roll" my own package(s) for nut, but I will really need to RFM before even thinking about trying to do that, because I'm not sure what that involves.... I have 2 books: "Running Linux" and "Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux 4 Bible" which probably will explain that, along with the CentOS Wiki. The development tools are installed on this box, if I need them to do that. Joe: Thank you very much. And you called me "son". Who is older? :-) Lanny
