 thanks a lot for your feedback that confirms these bugfixes.

About a month ago I had to install a MGE Comet 9, with a 10m serial

STP might have been better.  Also  note that though we recommend a max
length of 1,80 m, 10 m should work without problem depending on your
environment.

P.S: Wouldn't it be great if MGE Solution pack came with a wxWidgets NUT

the new Personal Solution Pac (aka PSP: [1]) is a cross platform (GTKmm) NUT
client that also discover your UPS. Released under GPL too.
And FYI, I've really tried (or discovered) wx after I made PSP. And it would
have been a good option, maybe better. For the rest, MGE continues to
support and help all NUT clients...
