[Nut-upsuser] trying to use powerware 3110 USB with NUT

Fri Oct 7 05:25:48 UTC 2005

Ok John.

Revert the changes, and i try to get hold on a 3110 so i can
do some debugging. Not 100% sure that it is the right protocol.

The vendor id say Phoenixtec Power Co, but other info i have from the
drivers from Powerware say that the Powerware 3110 is a bcmxcp on usb.

Or if you use the serial port it is a generic modell 15 (contact 
closer).

Regards
Kjell
