No, I've not done just what you're asking about, however I have a suggestion to consider which may be in the spirit of what you're doing.
I use Raspberry Pis as the NUT master to control my UPSs, and then the NUT client on the other systems. My UPSs are by Tripp-Lite and I have both older serial and newer USB versions. Using the RPi3 as the NUT master has the following advantages (to my mind): - NUT code is fairly current due to RPi's Debian roots - Raspbian is maintained - Automatic updates via apticron and unattended-upgrades - RPi is low cost and low power - No USB to serial adapter needed - Nice to isolate the NUT master on a separate system One small issue is that the RPi doesn't have RS232 levels on its serial lines, so you need a level-shifter. One that works fine is the MAX3232: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11189 --Larry On Wed, Jul 4, 2018 at 2:42 AM, David Melik <[email protected]> wrote: > Lately I replaced my 10+-year-old server with a nano-ITX-type one that > has USB but not old serial ports.
