Experience with UPSes on USB?

[Ted Roche]

I've set up a couple of UPSes using DB9 serial ports and the Network 
UPS Tools (http://www.networkupstools.lrg) pretty successfully. I've 
got a client with a small machine he wants UPS'd, and wondered if 
anyone had experience with the USB-based interfaces - there's one on 
sale cheap at Best Buy this week. The NUT package claims to support 
them using the "experimental" hidusb drivers. "Battery backup" and 
"experimental" don't seem like phrases I want to combine in a 
production business system...
