apart from the good advice from George (Ross), we need the following info to be able to help you (both need root privileges): - the nut version used, - the operating system, and version, you're running, - drivers debug output: $ /path/to/driver -DDDDD -a <devname> - and for the USB side: $ lsusb -v -d051d:<productID> AFAICT, the serial protocol has changed (and is not published nor reverse engineered), but USB should work (minus a possible missing supported productID). cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
