[Nut-upsuser] Problem with blazer_ser/megatec when upgrading to 2.6.0 from 2.4

Thu Apr 28 09:43:09 UTC 2011

Hello

First things first, thanks for great work with NUT.

For years I used Informer compact 3kVA UPS
http://www.informups.com/informer_compact.html with nut/megatec serial
driver, but it stopped working when I switched to blazer_ser with
2.6.0 upgrade.
I'm using 2.6.0 on gentoo.

Blazer_ser seems to connect with UPS, but upsmon reports driver not connected.
