I shouldn't have written after trying to get it work in an "accelerated" 
regime. Sorry, I know, is no excuse.

Ok, to be forgiven and make less trouble for others, I will monitor this list 
(traffic is not big) and when there is something to test, I will contribute 
that way, just it would be much nicer, if there is no more to do about it 
than stop what is working good (not modify) and try out some fresh code more 
directly. Well, we will see then. As I wrote, I am willing to help.

That could be too much my-ups-specific! The manufacturer did post me info 
about 1..10, I know, 0 is working too, but more I didn't test!
Anyway, my idea is, that driver should support full range (if there is no 
autodetection with UPS), and should take any command as input. Then it would 
be up to UPS to handle or reject it.
