[Nut-upsuser] MGE Pulsar M 3000 communication problems

[Ingo Schaefer]

Hallo,

I installed nut 2.0.4 on a Solaris 8 and tried two things:

First I wanted the ups to connect via usb, but I could not compile the
usb drivers. Make usb told me: no target named usb found

Second, because both ups and host have serial ports I tried to get it
working with serial.

The driver starts very fine, but takes a long time to detect the ups.

Upsd starts too, but while get in contact with the ups I am told:

Connected to UPS [mge3000-1]: mge-shut-ttyb
Synchronizing........ giving up

Starting upsmon is working as well, but I get strange communication
events from then.
