Re: [PCTECH] Any way to get UPS events to be recorded in the WinXP event log?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David, does your UPS have software with it? The PowerWare we use for our 
400s has its own Windows app that responds to the status from the serial 
connection. Of course, I'm connecting it to the 400, not a PC, so I don't 
use the software.
