Still it's nice to support MGE who helps rather than Belkin who doesn't.
I had previously purchased a F6C1200-UNV, but after looking into doing
automated shutdowns using nut, I decided I didn't want to buy any more
Belkin equipment. Since then I have bought 2 Nova 1100s w/USB. They seem
to work fairly well, though there is occasionally a glitch where I need
to unplug the usb cable and plug it back in (a reboot doesn't fix this and
it happens with two different computers, so I suspect it is a problem with
the ups model) to allow nut to see the UPS.
