if you have about $80 - $100 extra to spend, I would suggest a dsl/cable router. (linksys, smc barricade).
they are easy to setup and you can have your LAN up and running in no time regardless of the host's OS.
the problem I've seen a lot is that the software they give you with your cable modem is just for windoze.

LIEBERT(8) NUT Manual LIEBERT(8)
NAME
liebert - Driver for Liebert contact-closure UPS equipment
NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the liebert driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports some Liebert UPS equipment with a contact-closure interface. This includes the UPStation GXT2 with their
contact-closure cable. The smart mode ("Multilink") cable is not supported by this driver.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5).
BUGS
This driver does not yet support shutdowns by raising DTR. Be aware that shutdowns are not possible with the stock contact-closure cable.
You may have to build another cable with DTR connected through to the UPS for it to work.
There is no way for this driver to detect the hardware or cable. It will start up successfully even if no UPS is present. This is a
fundamental limitation of any contact-closure driver.
