The $100 Linux UPS Challenge

["Mark Knecht" <mknecht controlnet com>]

Hi,
   This has been an ongoing problem for me. Can anyone recommend a UPS for a
Linux desktop type machine that can do an automated shutdown and runs in the
neighborhood of $100? I have no trouble with this in Windows, doing it with
$60 USB versions from APC, but I haven't found anything similar for Linux.

   If you've solved this problem, please respond back with both the UPS
model number (if possible) and where to get the drivers.

Thanks,
Mark
