[Nut-upsuser] Difficulty over USB with a CyberPower 800AVR and

[Woogie]

Wow! Yup, the development version of newhidups does indeed include
support for my UPS. I'm getting useful information from upsc now
(which is great).

Now my only thought is how someone else with my model of UPS would try
to use it (would they make my mistakes?). Is there a wiki for nut that
I neglected to look at that would have pointed me straight from day
one? Or did I misread the documentation included with nut? If not, is
there anything I could do to help out on the documentation front so
other users don't get confused like I did?

Thanks everyone for help in getting me up and running =)
