I've been needing to look into this for a while, just found the 
following links:

http://www.sentry.org/docs/apcupsd/

http://www.sibbald.com/apcupsd/3.8manual/usb.html

Apcupsd version 3.9.4 or later (development version to be released as 
3.10.1) provides direct support for USB UPSes on Linux systems. To run 
apcupsd with a USB UPS, you need the following things:

     * A USB UPS (for example APC's BackUPS 350 CS)
     * Apcupsd version 3.9.4 or higher
     * Version 2.4.5 or later of the Linux kernel
     * Alan Cox's patch to your kernel. If you have kernel 2.4.5, you 
must have patch ac12 or later. For later versions of the kernel, any ac 
patch should do.
