Hi Arnaud,
thanks for your answer.
I do not have a problem to do some Hacking myself, but before I fumble 
around I would like to know the risks.

I found this entry in fentonups.h:

{ "SMART-UPS       1800VA     T18Q16AG", "Effekta", "MT 2000 RM",
50.0, 19.5, 50.0, 19.5, 171, 200, 260, 278, 1 }

And since my UPS is a 1500 VA from the same vendor,
I am tempted to use this line as a start.
Now where can I find the meaning of the fields?
I can make some sense from the first few fields, but what is
lowxfer and highxfer?

Sorry for these newbie questions...

Regards,
Dani
