I can tell you that it hasn't been easy to switch between 2 giant
groups, and adapt/change everything within a year...
but that's another point, which is not the topic.

I've had a chance to test yesterday a similar US model (Pulsar EX 1000
RT2U), and have not been able to reproduce the problem :-(
but it was with a Linux system!
I've installed a FreeBSD into VirtualBox, but haven't yet completed
this install (what's the right command to install nut btw?)
I'll have to do some FreeBSD testing, but if I can't reproduce it
again, I'll possibly need an access to one of the faulty unit (is it
possible?).

best regards,
Arnaud
