[plug] UPS's with Linux support

[Chris Cornish]

Paul all the ALPHA UPS'S i have seen come with drivers for the
following Wnidows NT Windows 95 SCO Unix AIX LINUX and OS/2. the OS/2
ones come on diskette and the rest are on the cd-rom i will see if i
can source them from a friend of mine who has them running under linux
for you paul but i think you should have them. He has the alpha 9000
UPS which did you get?
