Hi,
  I think I posted this question a while ago, but I didn't have
all the information.  Well, now I do.

  I want to run a shutdown process whenever my UPS system signals 
the computer.  It uses the serial port to signal a shutdown request.
It uses DTYPE "9" (whatever that means).  When there is a blackout
it (shorts out I guess) pins 2, 4.  And pins 4,5: 5 minutes before
the battery runs out.

If anyone knows how to handle this, please let me know.

Thanks,
Ori
