I have a Connext (sp?) manufactured by APC.  Cheaper than the ones with 
the APC name on the outside but it works fine.  It uses the genericups 
driver in NUT.  I know the NUT stuff comes with Redhat 8 and 9 at least... 
not sure about older versions or other distros though.

man -k ups | grep ^ups for manpages on NUT.
