Everything on the net appears to say Linux.
uname -a output is "Linux THEBOX 2.6.21.1-qnap #5 Wed Mar 18 15:19:23 CST 
2009 armv5tejl unknown"

> What version of the usblib is installed?
The closest thing I could find was libusb. It is version 0.1.12-1.
IPKG lists libusb as a dependency for NUT

> Is other devices using usblib working?
To the best of my knowledge no.

> Do you have a serial port on the device ?
No unfortunately its just USB

This is the model I have http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=85
And this is information about the ipkg installer which i used to install NUT 
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg

Over the weekend I will install NUT on ubuntu 8.10 just to make sure it can 
connect to my UPS fine.
The Windows software can connect so I know my UPS is functioning.

Once again thank you for your help.
