As a a historical note, before APC had there SNMP card for their UPS to give us line status (utility of no utility power), we sed a bunch of print servers left over from a local college which had their parallel port blown on them. We just plugged them in to the utility side, not the UPS, gave em an IP address, and pinged 'em with WhatsUp. Works great.
