Hi, I'd like to inform You that this UPS communicates well via the serial port. I haven't tested USB, and no shutdown testing so far, however, I hope it will run well.

FYI, USB support for this unit comes through usbhid-ups (and not bcmxcp_usb). cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
