Of course I did (-D) so (without,) works now.? I assume if I just go 
through the setup instructions on the NUT website, that'll make the 
server automatically load this driver on boot.? I did that before, even 
with some differences between default and Slackware's unofficial 
versions, even when having to note/change a few different things.? That 
was with USB UPSes, so maybe it'll be different with this serial port 
one... forgot most the details, but it's not that hard after setting up 
a few USB ones.

If the Slackware startup scripts call "upsdrvctl start", and the UPS
is listed in ups.conf, that should start the driver at boot.

Now I see that also after doing necessary things in 
http://networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/index.html chapters 
five and six (only difference was package I'm using doesn't use 
/usr/local.)? So, it's set do all necessary; thanks very much for help 
so far!? However, it doesn't start unless I add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.? 
Is there a log to show why?? I'd like to fix standard setup, then 
relearn setting up each UPS to be network-/HTTP-controlled.
