[Nut-upsuser] Old APC SmartUPS 1250, Nut 2.2.2 Fedora 9

[Don Harvie]

Hi All,

I've got two APC SmartUPS's that behave differently with nut, I have a 
SmartUPS1400 & a SmartUPS1250.

I'm fairly sure this isn't a nut problem but more likely a problem with 
the age of the SmartUPS1250 and the apcsmart driver not being able to 
identify it. Under the APC Powerchute software the same monitoring & 
command parameters are available for both UPS's but not with nut. Is 
there a way of being able to monitor voltages/load etc on the SmartUPS1250?

Here is the apcsmart debug output for the old 1250:

# apcsmart  -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -a smartups1250

here is the apcsmart debug output for the 1400:
