Well, I can help testing the connector on a separate system and seeing 
how that CyberPower supplied driver plays with it, since I do have quite 
a few systems in that network to work on, aside from my NUT master 
server. I am more than happy to test with it all, and get it working as 
best as I can. I haven't had the opportunity to get the Offline/plug 
pulled portion tested (I am across town right now, and got the driver 
and UPS software running remotely) so I will get that checked as well 
when I get home. I CAN test the AVR side too (My apartment has some 
circuits that are the suck in regards to wiring and power, older 
apartment for the most part) as soon as that is done, I will post the 
results and get the 'test' system up and running, and compare results 
between the live 1500 and the emulator.

I can provide as much as I can with that, but a skew of 5 degree's C and 
a load difference of about 6% isn't that bad of a skew, since it allows 
you to error on the side of caution.
