Carlos,

it's serial, not USB. I got it from a friend of a friend without any 
software. The installation guide doesn't even mention the serial port. :\

Looking around on the net, I found:

http://www.mustek.de/eng_/html/treiber/ups/ups500.htm

This seems to be the software for my UPS and it says "UPSCOMMANDER 1.0" 
on the installation screen.

BTW, the box is running DragonFly (a FreeBSD derivative). I'm using 
/dev/cuaa0 as the port.

Sascha
