Susan,
If you do get one that requires a Serial cable (DB-9), some use a
proprietary cable so get it from them. APC does have USB interface UPS in
the 500VA range which should be plenty for your needs. Look again at their
site.

Hi Carroll:
It states Interface port DB-9 RS-232 on the APC site.  What kind of port is
that?  It is evidently not a USB or it would have said that.  Would this
kind
of port be okay?

You stated that you had a Belkin.  Should I be looking there too?  Is it as
good as the APC?

Thanks for your input and advice.

Thank you,
Susan Hays
