About this one:

What does your ups respond to 'V' ? If 'E' is being send, then it looks 
like it matched something - as otherwise (if V/b/a all fail, only a very 
limited subset of commands is tried - 'E' is not among those).

'T' also means something entirely different in some other cases, hmmmm. 
Will have to think how to handle that.
