Technically, one star is "protocol based on reverse engineering" (key is at the top of the page) but the ratings are somewhat subjective beyond that (some protocols are easier to understand than others). > On the other hand, if it doesn't work, I might just start trying to > reverse-engineer the protocol. Sounds like a nice way to get started > with reverse-engineering :) There are some pointers in the list archives (also check nut-upsdev). It's certainly up to you as to how you want to approach this, but we do see a lot of commonality in the protocols - so feel free to post updates as you go along. There is a good chance that the protocol is similar to another driver, but that driver may have failed to detect that protocol variant. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
