: Naah, I'd rather write the program myself. Problem is, I have three boxes
: (four soon) powered by this UPS, and only one can connect directly to the
: UPS. I've got to write a server, and some clients for the other three
: machines, so they all know when to shut down. Besides, it's more fun rollin'
: my own!

There's no arguing with that! But...
C-Kermit 8.0, which is being released now, supports RFC 2217 Com Port
Control, which lets you share serial ports over Telnet. An RFC 2217 server
is available for Linux here:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/sredird/
Run this on the box that connects to the UPS serial port, and then you can
access the UPS from Kermit on the other boxes.
