Thank you all, I appreciate all of your help on the problem I was having. But you will never believe this. After fighting with the hyperterminal connection I pulled out a multimeter and tested the cable (a brand new cable at that) and found out that it was busted. How do you like that. I tried a new cable and have been able to get in. Now my next journey is configuring the box so that I can telnet in through my router. Going from a Windows environment to UNIX should be interesting to say the least. But I am looking forward to the challenge. If any one has any advice, tips or tricks I am all ears. Thanks again for your help.

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/detectups [tty]

DESCRIPTION

       detectups monitors the serial port connected to an UPS device and will attempt to determine the method of UPS notification of power outage.
       It will ask you to remove the power cord from the wall to the UPS, or push the UPS's test button. It will then determine what all has  hap-
       pened and ask to generate a config file based on your UPS and cable configuration.  detectups needs to watch a tty with modem control prop-
       erties.	Please refer to the powerd documentation for further information.

ARGUMENTS

       Serial-Device Some serial port that is not being used by some other device, and does not share an interrupt with  any  other  serial  port.
       /etc/powerd.conf

FILES

       /etc/powerd.conf    powerd configuration file that		      detectups generates
       /etc/inittab	   init is what actually issues the			shutdown

SEE ALSO

       powerd(8), shutdown(8), wall(1), inittab(5).
