>Any particular reason? 

Near clueless development team, sloppy, buggy, etc... Multiple folks reported
problems with the killpower function of which they shrugged it off as "WFM" and
thus a few of us moved on to NUT had had things working in under and hour.
Killpower being sent out to the UPS is kind of important... like to reserve
extra / remaining battery runtime for example! ;-)

>A great potential presentation topic!

How did I know that was coming? Yea, one of these days, NOT TOMORROW! On NUT I
am currently rusty. Storm season is over man, I don't even have it loaded on my
recently converted from Winzzzz to Linux server! :-) I figure having it pluged
in to the UPS is the more critical detail.
