I am looking to get a couple UPS units to protect my (2) Debian 2.0/Linux boxes. I don't need a lot of running time; I just want to be able to shutdown in case of a short power outage. I need a unit with uses a serial port to communicate its status, but statistics, etc are not needed. Also, I don't have a large budget for this.
I am looking in the 200-300 VA range, or if it's cheaper to buy one "bigger" one, in the 600-700 VA range. Thanks for any advice, Chris
