It probably is. We've seen other combinations here, like 'eu', 'uk' and so
on.

There is and in many cases, it will be better than the serial connection.
Many UPS'es use a fairly verbose protocol, where a faster (USB) interface
helps to prevent timeouts.

No, I wrote 'lsusb -vv' (double 'v'). Apparently, this looks very similar
in the font you're using... :-)

Good. This device is fully supported through the 'usbhid-ups' driver.
Although the stable nut-2.2.0 version works with this UPS, you may want to
try out the (improved) version from the trunk. If you don't know what the
latter is, just wait for the upcoming stable release, which should be
available shortly (Arnaud?)
