[Nut-upsdev] Fwd: RE New xanto driver for NUT

[Carlos Rodrigues]

>From the code I don't see that much difference. There are stuff like
"S.2" but those models should also support the standard "S02R000"
(other drivers currently targeted for obsoletion by "megatec" use the
two syntaxes interchangeably).

As I said, problems only popup if there are incompatible syntaxes to
perform the same commands, and extra ones pose no problems (are
ignored by the UPS).
