[Nut-upsuser] UPS MGE serial cable over network.

[Arnaud Quette]

Hi,

I'm forwarding your mail to the NUT list, because of a lack of time,
and also since some others (Charles) already looked at this issue IIRC
(related to the development branch 'netport').

cheers,
Arnaud

Now, I switch the connection of the UPS right away from PC to the serial over IP device ( that already standby).  Switch the PSP to use the virtual port.... now somehow, the PSP will still warning me about the power down for another 2 warning... then it stop...
