I haven't connected the UPS yet so I'm still using my old UPS and nut software. It has a Linux version on the CD but no mention of Gentoo, just rpm and deb. I tried to install this once before and I never got the software to work right. I think it was the init scripts that caused trouble. I looked at the nut website and it says the new UPS uses usbhid-ups which appears to need to be connected to the UPS by USB. I'll try the serial cable first, see what if anything it reports, then try USB and see if it reports the same thing. The old UPS uses powerpanel drivers within nut. That is sort of confusing since they call the Linux drivers the same as the windows software. Looks like I'm going to have to test this to see if it works or not. If it does, may need to report it to the people on the nut website. I would prefer serial if it works the same myself. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
