If you *must* have an ethernet interface, the price skyrockets, 
however APC UPS' are well equipped in the connectivity area,  the 
newer (small) units have a combo USB/Serial port dependant on the 
cable you get and apcupsd (http://www.apcupsd.org) is a nice piece of 
software.  The more expensive units also have a web/snmp/ethernet 
card as an option.  I also hear that the MGE UPS' are pretty good as well.

cheers,
