	apcupsd seems to see all the settings of my UPS but 
	through httpaccess but I'm unable to change
	EPROM setting (as can I do using windoze PowerChute).

	Further, the daemon seems unable to shut down even the machine!

	I've also noticed that my cable is 940-0095B rather than 95A,
	as claimed by APC. Do you think this can be the cause of 
	my problems?

	I obtained some random behaviour (with some succsessful
	shutdown on power failure) using genpower (shutting
	down through the init process). But I couldn't reproduce
	it regularly.

	None of the other packages seems so attactive.

	I also sent a query for information to brisse@acm.org
    (http://www.brisse.dk/site/apcupsd/library/whattodo/index.htm#TOP)
	Still waiting for reply.
