Snipped from an email to an individual:
I meant to actually check on this last night. I will try and remember to do
that tonight.
When you install the software it asks if you have TCP/IP installed so I am
going to go out on a limb (but not too far) and say that it does support
networking. Considering that it can control anything from the dumb UPSes
(I'm assuming any "dumb" one will work with the software) all the way up to
the Symetras that it should do remote shutdown.
Back to real time:
I have gone to their site today and it does seem to do that from what they
say. They are also giving away a surf board with Tux on it. I saw the link
on a banner at Freshmeat and started LMAO because of the current thread
here. I guess you could run around there or I could start Netscape back up
and give you a URL.
