Again, the driver itself doesn't care about this setting, this is  
purely for the UPS. What could be happening is that you have a 'smart'  
connector that attaches to the serial port and requires this setting  
to power a small circuit in the connector. I could also be that this  
setting prevents another program from probing/messing with the serial  
port. You're not running something like Modem Manager are you?

Right, I just wanted to know if you actually tried the other  
subdrivers. Clearly, the right one for this model is the 'phoenix' type.
