[Nut-upsuser] XPCC UPS

[Will Marler]

Thanks Charles, I sent a note to the XPCC tech support team right after
mailing nut-upsuser... figured best to reach out in several directions at
once : ). Haven't heard from them, but it's the weekend, so sort of
expected. I'll let you know if I do! Best,

Will
