Oh, I see.   The model of PDU we have has onboard Ethernet, which is
what we use for the fencing interface.

Sorry to say that in your case I cannot help much.  It may be possible
to adapt the telnet-based agent to use a serial device, but I have no
hardware quite like yours so I cannot say whether it will work.

You also may be able to connect the APC to a console server such as the
Avocent (Cyclades) ACS, which has both Ethernet and serial interfaces,
and thereby expose the serial interface for telnet access.
