Hi Charles!

Like I said on my last e-mail, I managed to build a debug version of
solis.

Here is an output:

==============================================
653             upsdrv_initinfo();
(gdb) next
Detected Solis 1.0 on /dev/cuaU0
UPS Date 1999/09/23

654             upsdrv_updateinfo();
(gdb) next
656             if (dstate_getinfo("driver.flag.ignorelb")) {
(gdb) next
679             dstate_init(progname, upsname);
(gdb) next
682             dstate_setinfo("driver.parameter.pollinterval", "%d",
poll_interval); (gdb) next
685             dstate_setinfo("driver.parameter.synchronous", "%s",
(gdb) next
689             if (dstate_getinfo("ups.mfr") != NULL)
(gdb) next
690                     dstate_setinfo("device.mfr", "%s",
dstate_getinfo("ups.mfr")); (gdb) next
691             if (dstate_getinfo("ups.model") != NULL)
(gdb) next
692                     dstate_setinfo("device.model", "%s",
dstate_getinfo("ups.model")); (gdb) next
693             if (dstate_getinfo("ups.serial") != NULL)
(gdb) next
696             if (nut_debug_level == 0) {
(gdb) next
697                     background();
(gdb) next

Program exited normally.
(gdb) 
==============================================

Funny... Under gdb, it detects something, even if it is a "wrong" ups. 

Running it straight, it outputs this:

[~]>/usr/local/libexec/nut/solis -a lobos -u root
Network UPS Tools - Microsol Solis UPS driver 0.62 (2.7.3)
Solis not detected! aborting ...

I just downloaded nut-2.7.3.1.tar.gz from the link you provided and
I'll try to give it a spin. I can do it through the ports because there
aren't any code patches. Only script patches, so you're free to change
the code around as much as needed.

Thanks for sticking with me on this!
