 I'm having some issues with ttyS0 (COM1) on my mail server. I'm trying
 to get it to work with NUT, but I cannot communicate through 
 the serial
 port.

Assuming the port works (I usually test with a modem), APC UPS's need a
special cable.  There are instructions on NUT's and apcupsd's website
(iirc).  The smart UPS's also might need a special command sent to them
before they will talk to you.  Other UPS's may or may not be similar.

Hi Nathan,

As I said in the initial post, I tested it with a modem booting from a
floppy, and it tested fine, so the serial port isn't faulty
(thankfully!).

It's actually a Sola UPS, and I had it working previously with NUT on my
old mail server which has now been retired.

The Q1 command is what I normally need to type in Minicom to get it to
respond, but this isn't working.

Thanks for the response though.

Pete
