In Cdrom is printed 
"Support SEC Protocol, USB Interface"

i hace read the README and probe this driver -> fentonups , the readme indicate this driver for protocol MEGATEC, the original soft for this UPS is Upsilon 2000 (the support from megatec confirm the NO support for linux and USB :( 
i have driver for protocol SEC and USB?
mmm google is my friend! 
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/sec.8.html
but in bin not exist this driver, is older or integrated in other driver?


regards
