Tom is the PDU/environmental guy, but I think APC is probably best supported.

Hi,
I've been using Observium for a few months now and really enjoy it!
I currently have a fully managed/switched PDU which has been under RMA for what feels like forever and the best advice the manufacturer could give me was to return the unit back to my reseller??
I'm not quite sure what's going to happen with it yet so I just wanted to know what the best or most compatible PDU is for *NIX systems?? I'm running Observium on FreeBSD 10 64bit.
Basically the current PDU I have keeps bombing out under SNMP queries as snmpwalking the device either comes up with "snmp timed out" or totally the wrong protocol?? It's supposed to support v1 and v3 but the MIB response I get is for v2c?
I know that Observium supports APC and two others as per listed on the Support page on the site.
Which one is the most NIX friendly?
Having read the documentation for the APC models, they can be updated over FTP or SCP which is perfect unlike my current model which needs an M$ exe program and since my network is OpenSource only OS wise it's basically an issue.....
It seems to be a bad SNMP stack in my opinion as I've never had any issues using SNMP previously with many different vendors for network and peripheral devices. Observium even goes as far as graphing my HP print servers Toner values which is soo cool :-)
Can anyone give me any advice?
-- I was actually looking at this model: http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP7...
as a replacement.
Many thanks.
