Nut upsuser - Feb 2007 - Upscode II driver

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?

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.

Best regards,
