Thanks!  I've attached the file to this email 
(bcmxcp_usb.output2014160926.gz), it ran for 12 seconds, and looks like 
it's looping by that time.  I'm not sure what to look for, does grepping 
for 'Yes' show the variables that the driver can pull off this UPS?

Not a problem at all, I am happy to help with this driver :)

This mismatch is odd, because driver.version.internal is 0.28 in both cases (this is the version of the bcmxcp_usb driver, which generally gets incremented after changes to that driver) and the firmware versions seem to match.

Ah, I see - I've noticed that when I browse to upsset.cgi, that there 
are no Settings reported when I select Settings and click the View 
button.  If I select the Commands function and click View, there are 
only four available:
- Turn off the load and return when power is back
- Turn off the load and remain off
- Start a battery test
- Description unavailable

I have a Belkin UPS which I was running on this system up to a few days 
ago when I figured out that the battery was totally cactus, and I put 
the Eaton back in until I get replacement batteries for the Belkin.  
(The Belkin is two 12v batteries, the Eaton is one.) Anyway, the driver 
for the Belkin actually has Settings reported, and I can't remember, but 
about 10+ different Commands.

Is the lack of Settings or Commands indicative of any problem, or is it 
the case that these just haven't been implemented on this driver?

Cheers,
Greg

p.s. The only difference I can see from the web page any my upsc output 
is that my UPS is a 700, and the driver was developed on a 500?
