[ale] Linux RH 7.2 - APC UPS BF350U - Kernel 2.3.34

[Dow Hurst]

I haven't hear of any open source UPS software that supports USB.  Has 
anyone heard of such?  Sorry for the lame post here that doesn't help.  
But your post hasn't been answered and I thought I up the post level a 
bit.  If I get a chance to do some searching on this I will.
