Leslie, This message is most appropriate for the NUT user list. I kept Rik Faith's and Nicholas Kain's copyright information because the tripplite_usb driver borrows heavily from the tripplite (serial) driver, but they are not responsible for the mess that I made in the USB driver.

Since we don't currently ship NUT for Windows XP, and because Tripp- Lite does not (to my knowledge) publish source code for their USB- based monitoring software, there is naturally going to be a gap between what NUT shows, and what you see in XP. > Secondly, the reported voltages are all incorrect.
