You wouldn't happen to know anyone who would be able to publish the specs of that protocol, would you? ;-) That would help remove the "experimental driver" warning.

There are a few questions I have since I do have somewhat of time-sensitive request to get this working:

What specifics are required from the protocol in order to establish communication?
If the protocol can be provided, how soon can it be made available to test with CentOS?
Is the protocol all that is required to get this unit to communicate with the current version of NUT for CentOS?
