Sorry, I think I was trying to run before I could walk.  Here's the 
requested output.  It looks a little on the short side... 


# upsc belkin at localhost 

driver.name: newhidups
driver.parameter.port: auto
driver.parameter.vendorid: 0001
driver.version: 2.1.0
ups.mfr: MEC
ups.model: MEC0002 

thanks
