Charles thank you so much for taking the time to follow up this issue! :)
This is simply a quick post to acknowledge your efforts as I will be
very busy this week and may not get to this issue before next week.

it was suggested to me that nut might support my new ups.
I have a headless debian box that it will be powering.
Can someone tell me what packages I need to install?
The base package for NUT in Debian is just called "nut" (currently at
version 2.4.3):
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/nut
However, I don't think any of the NUT developers currently own a GXT3,
Well I have one and I'm more than willing to provide system access to the
devs if they want to help figure this out.
I've been though a number of weeks bouncing messages at the manufacture of
the UPS to end up with a less than satisfactory answer and I'd just love to
see this puppy with some functional FLOSS driving it.
Don,
There's a simple program that Peter Selinger wrote a few years ago to
grab some of the information from the UPS's USB interface - I'll dig
that up and we can try to figure out what's going on. As a minimum,
you'll need the Debian build-essentials package, as well as
libusb-dev.
Here's the program:

You should be able to build it with the following command:
$ gcc -o get_descriptor get_descriptor.c -lusb
(after installing the packages listed above)
Assuming that 'lsusb -v' (run as root) returns the same information as
Juan Pablo Valles posted on 5/30/2011, I think you'll need to run it
as follows:
# ./get_descriptor<bus> <device> 1 0 0 128 0x22 0
<bus> and<device> are from the line of lsusb output which matches your UPS.
Juan, if you would like to try the same program, that would also be
useful to compare results.
