I haven't purchased a UPS yet.
Does apcupsd send shutdown messages to Windows users logged
into the 
server via Samba or does it only send it to users logged
directly into 
FreeBSD?
Reading the apcusbd manual I noticed it said that to access
the 
RETURNCHARGE setting in the ups you need to be connected via
a serial 
port. Do you use a Serial or USB connection?

I am thinking of purchasing an APC  SUA1500I model.

Thanks,
Ivan
