	The folks at apcupsd are in the middle of rolling a new version
- to be tagged either 3.10.17 or 3.11, I'm a little unclear - which
will include the beta (I would call it gamma) FreeBSD USB code.  The
code is actually there, and can probably be had from their CVS;
what's holding up the formal release (and therefore the port) is
getting the documentation in sync.
	You may want to subscribe to the mailing list for more
