        Hello!

        Below is the reply to my question I just received from Tripp-Lite.

        Like I said, there is NO WAY to gracefully shut down a blue & white Mac
server, whether it is running either ASIP 6.x or OS-X...

        Consider yourself warned!

>Dear Dan:
>USB support is not forth coming right away. We have this on the
discussion table, but nothing set in stone at this time. We do offer
limited MAC support of our PowerAlert software w/cabling.
>We are currently working on support for the NT5 (WIN 2000) and that should
be availble soon.
>We are staying abreast of the current Apple market and hope to offer
extended services in the near future.
