Don,

It looks like your UPS needs to be added to the list of model identifiers here:

http://boxster.ghz.cc/projects/nut/browser/trunk/drivers/apcsmart.c#L524

Note the other SmartUPS1250 comment.

Does the APC software list a three-character firmware identifier? (If
there is a screen of identification information there, that might be
handy to send.)

Arjen: looks like you added some identifiers to this list previously.
Would you have any objection to moving the upsdebugx() line up so that
the firmware version gets printed before firmware_table_lookup()
exits?
