have FOUND SOME MORE DATA, but still leaves questions. My data on the right
from Sola manual

Make Bergman wrote re the HP unit:
"For Windows NT 4.0+and HP-UX or compatible UNIX
systems, use SNMP via the HP PowerTrust II-LR
A1359A SNMP/Web Adapter.

SOLA docos give:
DB-9 Pinouts

see pin 7
  Receives incoming RS232 communication data.

Pin 2  RS232 Transmit Data

  Sends outgoing RS232 communication data.

Pin 3 Normally Open On-Battery Contact
same spec
  A normally open contact that closes 15 seconds (pulls
  to Common) after the UPS switches to battery power.

Pin 4  Common
same spec
  The signal ground for all signal pins.

Pin 5  Normally Open Low-Battery-Alarm Contact
same spec

  Shorting this pin to common for at least 5 seconds, while
  the UPS is operating on battery, shuts the UPS off after
  120 seconds.  NOTE:  The shutdown sequence must continue
  even if AC line returns during the 120 second countdown.

Pin 8 Normally Closed On-Battery Contact

  A normally closed contact that opens  (releases from Common) 15
  seconds after the UPS switches to battery power.

Pin 9  Normally open bypass switch status contact. =
unused

  A normally open contact that closes (pulls to common)
  whenever the UPS is in an Internal Bypass mode or is being
  externally bypassed through the use of a bypass switch.

Anybody been here before, knows how to pin a cable to mate a Sola to an N
series DB9, and a 928 DB25 modem port please?
