    Well, I'll out myself then since the other followups are on
list :)

    The apc I'm using is usb-only afaik.  Whatever cable was supplied
with it; it's usb on the host end, and rj45 on the ups side.  It's a
very, very consumer level ups; I'm pretty sure I picked it up at
microcenter, ages ago.
