If I understand the problem correctly, here is a possible solution: create another daemon (mged) that connects to the high end UPS and in turn listens on multiple sockets, one for each outlet. Each socket would simulate a simple UPS. There would be a NUT driver for each simulated UPS that connects to a socket on mged. -- Stuart D. Gathman <stu...@bmsi.com> Business Management Systems Inc.
