[Nut-upsuser] CyberPower 1500AVRT won't load driver!

[Richard Chapman]

I can't really help - but have a similar problem with a different UPS. I 
have a Belkin ups with belkinunv driver which claims to support my 
model. I get a different error - but essentially the same issue. It just 
doesn't seem to get anything back from the UPS on ttyS0. I have checked 
the permissions on ttyS0 and they appear correct. I find this a bit 
puzzling - because I can't figure out how these permissions got set. How 
did it know that I wanted to use ttyS0, apparently before I ever told it 
what port to use?

I also have only one physical serial port on the box - though the device 
manager reports 2 16550 ports. I can't really find a way to definitively 
prove that the port on the back is ttyS0 - so any ideas how to do this 
would be appreciated. Are there any settings that can be set for ttyS0, 
such as baud rates etc, and if so - how is this done? I am relatively 
new to Linux - so pleas be gentle with me...:-)

Many thanks

Richard.
