All you need to do is edit the PORTVERSION value in the Makefile, and
run make makesum :)

I've just successfully upgraded to 2.6.4 this way....

Thanks Arnaud, and sorry for the delay-- I've been on holiday.

As I mentioned above I've now got it to 2.6.4, and have a new message;

[crees at pegasus]/usr/local/libexec/nut% sudo ./blazer_usb -a zigor -DDDDDDDDDDDDD

I had already chmod'd 777 all the USB nodes (just for debugging of course!)

and:

[crees at pegasus]/usr/local/libexec/nut% grep -v ^# /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf
[zigor]
        port = auto
        driver = blazer_usb

Looks as though the UPS is answering in strange ways....
