according to the model name, the belkinunv driver should
be the right one... Did you try to launch it in debug mode
to see what happened (ie using "belkinunv -DDDDD -a ...)

I've seen in your latter post, about nut-html, that you've
got something working. What driver did you use?

sadly, no. It depends on the protocol used.
Your best bet is to try belkinunv, maybe add some
more trace and possibly extend the driver if needed
(ie add another ID string, make the driver more
generic, ...).

As a last question, is it a serial or an USB model?
