I beg to differ here. It tells us that

1) It is possible to send something to the UPS
2) There are no problems with the permissions on the port
3) We get no reply from the UPS

A couple of things can be wrong here. The serial port (or the setup) is
broken. I've seen similar problems with serial ports that had problems
where the IRQ settings of the BIOS were not setup properly and/or they
were not configured properly in /etc/modules.conf.

Another thing could be that the serial cable used is broken.

Best regards, Arjen
