I see there should be problems to get it work with a free daemon like nut, but are there some hints using it?
In my ups.conf I tried:

[apc001]
        driver = apcsmart
        port = auto
        desc = "Smart APC"


And I get broadcast messages when I connect/disconnect the device like:
Broadcast Message from root at glus  
        (somewhere) at 14:24 ...                                               
                                                                               
Communications restored with UPS glustersv001 

(glustersv001 is the machine I connect it to)

Thank you for support,

Gregor
