[Nut-upsuser] Patches for NUT 2.2.2: APC SmartUPS-900

Mon May 4 16:51:16 UTC 2009

Hi Arnaud,

As you are patching apcsmart.h, can you also apply my patch that I sent
back in November last year for 2.2.1 for the old SU600 model to the upsdev 
list?

I am attaching my original post.

Thanks, -Kastus
