the only to verify that blazer works with that model is to have reports
from users or help from the manufacturer.

So you have to test a bit the communication, look at what upsc returns,
test power failure and check ups.status has an "OB" value, and then
report back the above info either to me or the the nut-upsuser list

You can also try the "powermust" driver. It should also support that
UPS.
