Markku,
     you have been a great help but 'nut'is becoming to complicated and 
confusing for me (Bi-Polar, Depression, etc) to get configured,its 
actully depressing me working on it.It looks as if my powermate will 
finish up as a power filter and not a ups. It says little for Linux 
where one service (ups) takes 3> programmes,7> confifig files to get up 
and running, the M$ jibe about Linux is built by geeks for geeks has a 
gem of truth!!
