Ok, I 've done some more testing.
I did comment out the upsmon entry in /etc/default/nut
Then loaded the driver like:
/lib/nut/genericups -x upstype=7 /dev/ttyS0
It loaded and according syslog:
Nov 11 10:19:47 radius1 genericups[8469]: Startup successful
However when I tried:
radius1:/etc/nut# upsc ups_name at localhost
Error: Connection failure: Connection refused
radius1:/etc/nut#

I've done this for ttyS0 & ttyS1 (there are no more, 2 results in an error
at fire up)
I also changed the permissions on ttyS1 like
radius1:/etc/nut# ls -al /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw----  1 root nut 4, 64 2005-02-26 07:39 /dev/ttyS0
radius1:/etc/nut#

Same problem.
The only things left here  are.
1. There is a problem with the serial cable. (I tried 2 of them)
How will I know if the cable that came with the UPS is the right one?
2. That thing just won't ever work for linux.

The new series of MGE are Ellipse ASR I hope someone can confirm these
things work as they should
with NUT running on debian stable.

Many tnx
Yves
