    Rick, I own 2 APC Smart UPS v/s 4400 models with this same cable.
    Noticing the thread (linux-hams) I can tell you now that this cable
    interface works only
    under Windows NT4.0 but MAY be convertable ... don't know for sure.
    This "special cable" is nothing more that a standard DB9 null-modem
    cable!
    (leave it to APC to say it's special) - Hope this helps ... Also have the
    diagrams if needed
    as units we're purchased new here.
