I have an MGE UPS, and I've had a good experience with Network UPS Tools
(nut)

   http://www.exploits.org/nut/.

Their webpages lists 2 drivers for Belkin (for Regulator Pro serial and
for Resource), so you may be in luck. Quoting:

   Belkin
   No official documentation.  The belkin driver uses reverse-engineered 
   specifications compiled from a variety of sources and user reports.
   Caution: I have personally turned a Regulator Pro into a brick by
   messing with this protocol.  Using the belkin driver is safe, however.

If you go with nut try to use the Debian version in unstable, or at least
that in testing. It's a bit painful to configure, but I'm happy with it.

HTH,
