    Due to many e-mails received of people wanting the source of the
    freely available upsd, I sent this mail to the list.
    
    upsd-1.0 was programmed by a guy at Wildwind Communications. It
    used the dumb mode of APC SmartUPSes and is depreciated.
    
    Then, also at Wildwind Communications, upsd-2.0 appeared. It uses
    active ("intelligent") mode of the SmartUPS and reports actual
    configurations, voltages, etc to the syslog.
    
    Problem: Wildwind Communications seem to no longer exist on the net.
    Their FTP site is no longer registered at InterNIC (ftp.ww.net).
    
    So I put the source at our anonymous FTP server for download.
    Please write your own settings for your UPS (configurable parameters)
    in apc_static.c, because they are changing from one country to
    another. Feedback and working configurations would be appreciated.
    I use this upsd with FreeBSD 2.2.5 and a SmartUPS 700.
