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.
