[Nut-upsuser] Newpoint 200897 UPS

I got sick & tired of constant power outages with no warning, so when I
saw various UPSes at the store, I decided to get one, and the one I got
was a model 200897 from Newpoint (a.k.a. Power Sentry). A couple of days
later the power went out and I decided to use the opportunity to hook up
the UPS. I added up the wattages of the equipment I would be connecting,
and found that the only way I would not overload the device would be not
to connect the monitor to it (it's a CRT). Furthermore, I had no real
choice but to go against the very stern warning for UL compliance on the
Newpoint website against daisy-chaining surge-suppression devices by
plugging the UPS into the Woods Industries model 5187 Surge Protector that
I had been using for many years. The UPS came with UPSMON software for
Windows, NetWare, and Linux-i386, but nothing for Mac OS 10.3.9, so I
started searching the web for something I could use instead. The only
suitable thing I found was NUT. After finding that there is no NUT package
for Fink (on Panther), I thought I'd perhaps create one, but first get the
software actually working. I downloaded version 2.0.5-pre1 and installed
it, following the instructions on the NUT website, adjusting the *nix-isms
for OS X as I went along. Then, I found that I also had to follow the
instructions in the hid-subdrivers.txt file, and the source file
generated, as modified per instructions, is pasted in its entirety at the
end of this message. When I typed "upsc newpoint at localhost" afterwards, I
got output that was not particularly useful, and I'm not sure where to go
from here. Here is all the output:

driver.name: newhidups
driver.parameter.port: auto
driver.parameter.vendorid: 0d9f
driver.version: 2.0.5-pre1
ups.delay.shutdown: 0
ups.delay.start: 0
ups.mfr: Powercom
UPS.PowerConverter.ShutdownRequested: 2
ups.serial: 
ups.test.result: Done and passed
