pkgsrc/sysutils/ups-nut

I use a best data fortress 750 on my pmaxen with the above package -- I
assume it would also work fine with sparc.

I've been having troubles with timeouts with the current version in
pkgsrc, (older versions didn't have the same trouble,) and I assume that
it'll get fixed soon enough.  (pkgsrc lags a few versions back...)
worth looking into in any case...
