Hey, all.

Not sure whether this is a better question for a Solaris group or here,
but oh well.

I'm considering getting a small UPS for an E200 server I recently
bought.

This server has no USB, and the UPS I'm looking at has _only_ USB.

Assuming I can get an after-market USB card running under Solaris 10,
will UPSD communicate over USB?

Yes, I know that getting a UPS with straight serial would be more
straightforward, but that one's double the price. ;-)

Thanks!
