Peter,
    I understand that the real functionality should be elsewhere than 
the driver. But the commands for the serial interface allow for 
sending parameters to the UPS, ie S<n>R<m>, S<n>, T<n>, so I just 
wanted to be able to do that as well. This would then make the driver 
issue all the commands that are possible.
