Never really though about the UPS (our new one has an SNMP board
on it), but we also use them for pulling call information from a
key system, programming the key system, consoles for channel
banks, etc. One of the nice things abouts replacing PM2e 30s, is
that if you don't sell them, you have thirty "network ready"
serial ports for stuff like this.
