Looks like all ditros have had the apcupsd ported to them, but testing has only occured on Red Hat,
Solaris, FreeBSD. Also appears that all APC models are supported w/ the latest version. They all
use the same control lang., just the newer and more expensive versions have more commands or
provide more info. Apparenly, if you have an old APC, the only info it send over its serial cable
may be that voltage has dropped, so it's time to shutdown.
