Arjen,

I'm certainly appreciating your help.

So far, everything I've seen has appeared very cryptic to me.  I will have to try to find some information about these parameters that is closer to my lower reading level.

I removed all of the optional parameters, except for validationSequence.
Without the validationSequence, I get:
        data receiving error (validation check)
        data receiving error (0 instead of 16 bytes)

The output from upsc does *not* look right to me. But, then again, I don't know what it would look like if it were right.
        battery.charge: 0.0                       <- shouldn't this be 100 ? (as in per cent?)
        input.frequency: 80.12                    <- I'm thinking this should be 60 ? (as in Hz.?)
        input.voltage: 100.8                      <- The display on the front panel claims 124 at the moment ...
        ups.load: 12.9                            <- Amps ?
        ups.mfr: PowerCom               <- came from nowhere
        ups.model: KIN-2200AP           <- came from nowhere
        ups.model.type: KIN             <- came from nowhere
        ups.status: OL                            <- Overload ?? Offline ?? 

I installed wmnut, which did not seem very helpful.  Too tiny for one thing.

This is a terminal log showing what I'm looking at right now:
