[Nut-upsuser] Nut newhidups USB interface

[Peter Selinger]

Hi Shane,

please try the instructions at 
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html
(with appropriate modifications for FreeBSD). 

If you can't get it to work, please get help from the nut-upsuser
mailing list (cc'd above), as I am no longer actively involved in NUT
development. 

Good luck, -- Peter
