I see what you're saying -- and I can see how difficult that would be
to track down. The symptoms I'm continuing to see certainly could be a
product of that same behaviour you mention.

At this stage, I think I've reached the end of the road for USB UPSs
on FBSD. For the time and effort put into this thing, I could have
purchased a much larger RS-232 based UPS. Such is life.

Thanks for all your help -- it made a big difference.
