Alright, I guess that makes sense, not the best of news then...

I'd figure out the protocol myself, but I'm just not at that level of
programming yet...

One last thing I'd like to mention which might be relevant, the
drivers that are supplied with the UPS for Windows are from richcomm,
I don't know if that makes any difference.

Also, if anyone is interested, I'd be willing to make a VM with the
UPS plugged into it with remote desktop enabled so someone more
knowledgeable about these things than me can try and work it out.

Thanks for the help so far!
