PS, progress of sorts:
I have followed along on the web page's install & configure, editing to fix 
changes in the syntax according to the warnings returned, untill I get to 
the upsd start(which has to be done as root), and its returning this:
[root at coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672
/usr/local/ups/etc/upsd.conf is world readable
upsd.conf: invalid directive LISTEN: all
listening on localhost port 3493
getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

Now I'd assume the chmod 0640 applies to everything, and that the whole 
REJECT line is a no-op now.

That now gets me this:
[root at coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672
listening on localhost port 3493
getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype
[root at coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -c stop
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672
fopen /var/state/ups/upsd.pid: No such file or directory

So obviously it is not running, however, when I used the web page sample 
'ACL' etc, it warned but ran ok (I think):

[root at coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3-2672
ACL in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN
ACL in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN
ACCEPT in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN
REJECT in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN
listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493
listening on ::1 port 3493
Connected to UPS [coyotes-ups]: usbhid-ups-coyotes-ups

And:

[root at coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc coyotes-ups at localhost ups.status
OL CHRG

Then the whole list:

[root at coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc coyotes-ups at localhost

So, whats next, reload the web page in a few hours? Or just ignore the 
warnings? ;-)

Well, I thought I was fixing upsmon.conf correctly, but:
[root at coyote etc]# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsmon
Network UPS Tools upsmon 2.4.3-2672
Unable to use old-style MONITOR line without a username
Convert it and add a username to upsd.users - see the documentation
Fatal error: unusable configuration

Sigh...

Thanks Charles (no CC this time, just the list)

Some of the things that live the longest in peoples' memories never
really happened.

You will have a long and unpleasant discussion with your supervisor.
