Look up any package that provides: ups-monitor. Such as apcupsd,
genpower, apcd, upsd, bpowerd, powstatd, powstatd-crypt, and nut
(why are there so many different packages for doing the same thing?
apcupsd, genpower, apcd, and bpowerd do not appear to support network
operation, while powerstatd-crypt is the only one that supports
encrypted network communication. That is the only difference I can see
between all of these)
Some of these claim that they will work for almost any device that
uses RS232.
Sorry, I can't recommend/discourage any specific brands.
