Hi, i just got a Phoenix Technologies PH1200UPSB 1200va serial-port ups
and it is only partially supported by bestups driver (needs manual ID or
driver rewriting).

It comes with a tool called UPSilon 2.1 on a CD (which worked better
with TERM=linux).
After [sl]tracing it i came to these results:

COMMANDS :
- Command: I
 Response: "#XPHOENIX TECH   PH1200UPS  VER2.00C  "

- Command: F
 Response: "#220.0 006 23.50 50.0"
Seem to be nominal data: rating voltage, rating current, shutdown or
maximum batt voltage and hertz ?

- Command: Q1
 Response: "(234.0 165.0 234.0 000 50.0 27.2 00.0 00001010"

Command sequence used by UPSilon:
Q1, I, F, Q1, Q1, Q1, ...
