Ok, I fixed my autoconf/automake installation and I tried SVN version... 
now it works like a charm!

Well, I tried but this UPS doesn't seem to handle well this situation. 
It won't turn on when the line comes back... Before buying this UPS, I 
had a little MGE, and I remember I had to set a value on it with the 
W**dows control program in order for it to turn on when the line is up 
again... Winpower doesn't offer this feature, and trying to set some 
other values in the UPS (like beeper.toggle or test.battery.start) 
didn't work neither... it seems that this is a REALLY DUMB UPS... 
nevertheless, as I said before, everything else is working ok, so you 
can include this UPS (Unitek ALPHA 1000 Ps) in the list of supported 
models... at least we have something!

Thank you for all your help! :D
