right, it's possibly just another variation...

the default "communication" subdriver is cypress for 0665:5161.
could you test with "subdriver=XXX" in ups.conf, replacing XXX with
{phoenix, ippon, krauler} and send back the debug output (possibly
compressed, since we have a 40 Kb limit on the list).

if this gives no result:
- trying the NUT trunk (development version) may help investigation,
- a sniff of the USB communication with ViewPower may help identifying
the subtle difference(s).

cheers,
Arnaud
