Nut upsuser - Aug 2005 - Tripp-Lite SMART1500XL

I've having no success trying to use the tripplite driver to communicate
with a Tripp-Lite SMART1500XL via the serial port. I'm using the cable that
was included with the UPS. The tripplite driver simply returns "Failed -
giving up..." after 20 seconds. I have verified that the tripplite driver
is
sending ":W" out the serial port. I am able to use Tripp-Lite's
software to
monitor/control the UPS.

Does anyone have experience with using nut with a Tripp-Lite SMART1500XL or
similar problems with other Tripp-Lite smart UPS's?

we have 3 SMART5000s we could never get to work through serial or usb
(on openbsd though)

we ended up getting a SNMPWEBCARD for each and they work well enough now
... but i don't think the 1500XL takes them
