Thanks for this feedback.

First, you should switch to newhidups since it will hidups will have 
disapeared in
the upcoming 2.2.0 release. You should get some added features as a bonus, 
but it
may also require some modification on our side...

Note that newhidups is already present in 2.0.5, and that you only need to 
put
"port = auto" in ups.conf. Your UPS will then be autodetected.

I will wait for your feedback on newhidups before adding this unit to the
compatibility list.
