USB connected upses don't generally function as a serial-over-usb adaptor. What you want is the hiddev.o module. Your UPS is likely capable of using the same physical port to talk RS232 or USB, depending on what signals it sees on the pins, much the same way many keyboards and nice can talk either PS/2 or USB depending on what you connect them to
