here is my _biased_ opinion (biased since my company wrote management
software for gamatronic's larger PS-es and UPS-es) - we bought several
UPSes from them - the smaller version - and we also got one of the larger
UPSes. they are used to hold PC stations - we usually put the machine
without the display itself on the UPS - and so far they seem to work well.
didn't try connecting to their serial ports, so i can't tell you much
about linux support for that. the larger UPS-es have an SNMP interface,
btw, but that requires a small external box (no idea if it comes with the
UPS, or only for an extra price). we use most of the UPS-es we got from
them for less then a year yet (except for the larger one - which works
for a year+), so you'd better find someone that uses them for longer then
that. in the same environment, we have other UPS-es too (advice, and 1
other company). some of them died, but it seems that it was due to the
need to replace the battery after around 2 years of use - apprently, we
replaced those batteries only after the UPS mulfunctioned ;)
hope it (biasly) helps,
