Nut upsdev - Jul 2009 - Powercom BNT-1000CS

Hello. I have recently purchased a Powercom BNT-1000CS(Black Knight CS). 
I am new to NUT(and am not a programmer), but I have noticed that this 
model does not work with NUT. I am willing to provide details about this 
UPS for anyone who would like to add support for it(i dont know how to 
get much info though, so you'll have to tell me how). For starters, this 
is what happens when I do upsdrvctl start:

$ sudo upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1
Network UPS Tools - PowerCom protocol UPS driver 0.12 (2.4.1)
data receiving error (0 instead of 11 bytes)

The UPS is hooked to a serial port(on ttyS0), and I am running 
Debian(mix of testing/unstable/experimental) on AMD64.

Is there a log file somewhere where I can read more info about why the 
UPS is failing?

Read 'man 8 powercom' first before asking for help on nut-upsuser.  
This is the development mailing list and you haven't provided  
convincing evidence this isn't a configuration issue. You'd have a  
much better change of getting a useful answer there too.

The driver should expect 16 bytes for the BNT series so apparently you  
haven't configured the driver properly. The man page should help you  
out.

Best regards, Arjen
