Nut upsuser - Jan 2014 - Unable to detect an APC Smart protocol UPS. Windows. APC Smart protocol driver 3.04 (2.6.5-3723:3731M)

Hello.
Trouble to communicate with APC SmartUPS via serial port.
UPS connected to the com1 port on windows host.
Communication witch hyperterm works well.
There is a log:

YSM
^ASmart-UPS SC1000
n5S0713T63247
m03/29/07
L240.0
B27.10

apcupsd also can communicate with the UPS and works well.

running apcsmart -a ups gives the following:

com1: device reports different attributes than what were set
unable to detect an APC Smart protocol UPS on port com1
check the cabling, port name or model name and try again

ups.conf:
[ups]
	driver=apcsmart
	port=com1
	cable=940-0095B
	desc="test"

Sysinternals Portmon captures the following activity on com1:

Thus, apcsmart sends the Escape character, which is not recognised by UPS and
returns NA.
Is there a solution for this issue?
Thank You and sorry for my English.

All issues related to certain sanity checks (and some misbehaviour) 
while setting up serial ports should be fixed in the current version of 
nut. Is it possible for you to try current version of nut ?

There should be apcsmart-old present in your build as well, so if it's 
not possible - you can use the previous version easily.

The actual issue above was that when setting serial port, IGNCR was 
ignored and the new driver expected that to be honored. It's fixed in 
the current version (CR is always filtered now), but not in that 
particular build. Current driver also allows to use both canonical and 
raw modes, so should the former (default) fail, the alternative is 
available.

Unfortunately i can not try the latest version - 2.7.1, no binaries available
for win32.
In builds 2.6.1 - 2.6.4 no driver named apcsmart-old, only man page, dedicated
to them.
i tried apcsmart from nut 2.6.1 - 2.6.4 with no success.
Thank You.
