Is there a particular brand - or even model - that folks would recommend for a medium-to-heavy home office environment? (This isn't the only UPS; it's just the only one causiong problems right now.) Budget is not unlimited, so I'm not looking for anything fancy; just something that will (with replacement batteries) just do its job for the next 15+ years. And - of course - works with software running on FreeGSD. (I use apcupsd, and have seen nut used elsewhere.) Respectfully, Robert Huff
