Hi,

	Thanks... Unfortunately I misspoke in my private reply. I
had said that I was using mge-shut when I was using the mge-utalk.

	The issue is that when I went to try the mge-shut (I'm
doing this serial) I get :

soekris# /usr/local/libexec/nut/mge-shut -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -D -a ellipse
Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/SHUT driver 0.65 (2.0.3)
debug level is '8'
entering upsdrv_initups()
entering setline(1)

entering shut_ups_start()

	Atleast with utalk I was getting SOMEWHERE.

		Thanks, Tuc
