Nut upsuser - Jan 2006 - NUT and mge-utalk update

Hi everybody,

Sorry for the eternity it took to solve the UTalk problems, but I've been
busy on so many fronts...

I've updated the CVS Testing tree, which will soon become 2.0.3 stable
release, with mge-utalk 0.87. This release fixes the UTalk problems you have
recently faced.

If possible, please test it and report back if it work or not with your
unit.
To do so:
1) Retrieve the source
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/nut login
[Press ENTER when prompted for a password]
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/nut co -r
Testing nut
2) Then compile as usual.

Otherwise, NUT 2.0.3 will soon be released and packaged.

Thanks,
Arnaud Quette

Hi there, it's the first time I post to this list, but i thought you 
would like to know that my tests with 2.0.3 solved all the data stale 
problems I had with 2.0.2.

About a month ago I had to install a MGE Comet 9, with a 10m serial 
cable to a Sun Fire V20z with RHEL3. I had lots of problems with the 
mge-utalk driver, with data stales every minute. First I thought that 
the 10m cable was the problem, but I downgraded NUT to 1.4.3 and all the 
problems disappeared.

Friday I got the 2.0.3 cvs source and it's been working flawlessly. 
Congrats and good work.

By the way, to make the 10m cable I used UTP cat 5e, hoping that it 
would help to keep a good connection to the UPS, is there any better way 
to do it?

P.S: Wouldn't it be great if MGE Solution pack came with a wxWidgets NUT 
client (or any other cross-plataform GUI client)...
