I am using the upscode2 driver with an old powerware ups. The driver seems slow to start and to spite the message of giving up it does work. Any thoughts on why it is having trouble synchronizing? ---------8<--------- Starting upscode2: Network UPS Tools - UPScode II UPS driver 0.84 (2.0.3) Copyright (C) 2001-2002 H▒vard Lygre, Copyright (C) 2004 Niels Baggesen Warning: This is an experimental driver.

Any thoughts on why it is having trouble synchronizing?Upgrade to nut-2.0.5. Older versions sometimes suffer from this problem when starting up the driver takes longer than expected. However, do verify that you're able to read the status from the UPS with 'upsc'. If the driver keeps reporting ups.status 'WAIT' (after upgrading to the latest NUT) you're in trouble.
