OK, thanks. That does sound very familiar.

Generally, the people interested enough to contact the manufacturer
are the people who own the hardware :-)

Looking through some old notes, I think this might end up being very
similar to the fentonups driver. drivers/fentonups.c is serial only,
but we might be able to add a layer to switch between serial and
USB-over-HID. I am already eyeing such a layer to unify the Tripp Lite
protocol support.

If you are interested in helping with development, you probably want
to join the nut-upsdev list, and then we can move the thread there.
