Hello,

I have a TrippLite SU2200XLA UPS with a possibly unreliable USB interface
running on NUT 2.4.3. This flooded syslog last night, beginning with the USB
connection spontaneously reconnecting:

When I restart NUT, everything is OK until the next spontaneous reconnection. 
Two questions:

1. If I can reset the connection by restarting the driver, is there a way to
make the driver do this itself?

2. If not, is there a way to suppress or limit the syslog messages, other than
a syslog filter?

Note that I have three other UPSs of the same type which do not exhibit this
behavior.

Thanks,
Kelvin
