I just purchased a Newpoint 200894 UPS and I'm interested in getting it
going. It seems to use a USB to serial conversion that I'm not sure how
to get running.

It seems to be the same device as this thread

but I'm not sure how to get things running. Please help!

In that case, you could try the blazer driver. Best regards, Arjen -- Eindhoven - The Netherlands Key fingerprint - 66 4E 03 2C 9D B5 CB 9B 7A FE 7E C1 EE 88 BC 57

The megatec_usb driver now matches against your UPS's product and vendor IDs, so there's a chance this driver will work with your UPS. Would you be interested in grabbing the latest source tarball (currently 2.2.0) and trying this driver? http://www.networkupstools.org/source.html The usual precautions apply - you may even want to temporarily plug your computer directly into the wall or another UPS for testing, since there's a small possibility that the UPS may shut down unexpectedly if megatec_usb turns out to be the wrong driver. -- - Charles Lepple
