If you care to receive help from this mailing list:

1) Do not top post.
2) Please keep list traffic on the list

The 'productid' override is broken for the tripplite-hid subdriver in  
nut-2.4.1. This has been fixed in nut-2.4.2 so if you try that, the  
device most likely will be supported.

Best regards, Arjen

Arjen,
My installation is from an Ubuntu (Jaunty) package (2.4.1).  This is their latest.  I'm supposing you're going to recommend I install from source.  I'd rather not.  Is there a patch or something I can apply to my existing version?

Thanks,
Greg
