USB nice, I guess that gives alot more detail than a serial connection, dumb or otherwise.
The UPS' I use at work are connected to the network so use WOL to power up again after main power is restored. Works well, although would be nice if I could tell the UPS to turn a few servers on before others, i.e. get the DC back up before the exchange... hehe
Life ranges from 10 mins (so really they just act as voltage buffers most the time and will give a graceful shutdown/powerup) but others last over 2 hours which is useful when a little electric work needs to be done.
