The model number on the back is BK400. I am aware of 3 basic styles one
being contained in a flat, black or dark gray box (not smart), another
being
the Smart-UPS type (which is used here with the servers), and the last
being
the type I am using (also have one of these at home which is labeled
Back-UPS 2 0 0).
About the cable... I have the one that came with the unit and yes, the pin
outs are not the same as a standard serial cable. You can find the pinouts
in the UPS-HowTo which explains how to make the cable from scratch.
waiting on you're reply... Thanks for helping out!

p.s please let me know if this Notes client is polluting the list with HTML
crap
and I will find another way to edit and send my mail.
