Hello there. I use Online Xanto ups'es so I did some googling for their support in nut. Turns out that... - networkupstools.org talks about an 'optiups' driver in the development version (networkupstools.org/compat/dev.html - by the way, the web page says 'stable' in the title and headings just like the actual stable one) - Andreas Thienemann seems to have a working driver, discussed in this May-2006 thread (lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut- upsdev/2006-May/000886.html), with someone suggesting it's similar to the 'megatec' protocol - Marc Balmer and/or Hanning Brauer added Xanto support to the fentonups driver sometime in 2006 (ports.openbsd.nu/sysutils/nut) Is someone working on Xanto support? Will it be based on one of those three solutions? Which one? I used minicom to send a 'Q1' to a brand new Xanto RT (it's a new series, seems like an improved Xanto S/SR) and it responded just like a Xanto S should do according to Andres' driver. Thank you all for your good work with nut. -- Luca Lesinigo
