This is the $40 problem. They (APC) sell a "special" cable for *NIX. I found mine for $22.50+s&h at necxdirect.com. It works great now. Bryce C.

Had a customer that purchased an APC Back-UPS Pro 650 for the linux server in his office (he jumped the gun on me - thinking he got a deal / I was thinking Smart UPS 1000). Anyway, downloaded the new PowerChute RPM from APC and installed it but it can't seem to find the serial port. I don't have a monitor/mouse/keyboard on this beast but I may actually have to do that to figure out where the serial ports are in the scheme of things in bios but can anyone tell me - how can I see which serial ports are active in a log or a command? (RH 7.1) lspci & pnpdump - /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages don't seem to mention any of these ports. They seem to find the US Robotics Sportster 33.6 internal modem and that's it.
