Nut upsuser - Jun 2007 - can't make mustek powermust 600usb work

Disclaimer: I've setup APC UPS monitoring and it works...
... but when it comes to mustek powermust 600usb (connected via
com-port), I can't make it work.
Got NUT installed via aptitude in ubuntu feisty and a basic setup,
exactly the same as for the apc, except for the name of the ups and
the corresponding section of ups.conf
--
[mustek]
        driver = megatec
        port = /dev/ttyS1
        desc = "Mustek PowerMust 600USB"
--
# upsc mustek at localhost
Error: Driver not connected

Tried changing the port value to ttyS1, but this won't work either.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've tried both ttyS1 and ttyS0 as well as connecting UPS to each of
the two com ports. Neither worked out.

Not sure how applicable this is to this particular UPS, but are there
different cables for "dumb signalling" (contact-closure) versus
"smart
signalling"?

Also, what sort of messages do you get if you run:

   /lib/nut/megatec -a mustek -DDD

Have you already tried starting the driver in debug mode?

	megatec -DDDDD -a mustek

Generally, it will be a lot more verbose in telling why it can't start.
