Yeah, I'm alive but currently on vacation. And before vacation I was 
rather busy doing RealWork<tm>, so I've been out of the 
NUT-loop for a while.

The current state of snmp-ups is not ideal. The best would probably be 
to do a rewrite to get the support for different SNMP units nice and 
modular without the current hacks, but unfortunately I currently don't 
have time to do that. Regarding SNMP units there are further issues 
that we really need to ponder before doing a rewrite, I think all 
those thoughts are documented in the bug reporting system.

When I get some time (probably later this autumn) I'll take care of 
fixing 3phase-support for some units (some people have sent me 
snmpwalk-output of their units, implementation seems trivial enough). 
Until then, I'll probably be rather passive.
