      Hi,

      I have mounted a system with Alix 2D13 with pfSense after a one year using a normal PC.

      I'm trying to get UPS information (Mustek 800VA) using Serial->USB cable, but i can't get this work.

      The USB is recognized:

      ugen0.2: <prolific technology="" inc.=""> at usbus0
      uplcom0: <prolific 0="" 2="" technology="" inc.="" usb="" 2.0="" to="" com="" device,="" class="" 0,="" rev="" 1.10="" 3.00,="" addr=""> on usbus0</prolific></prolific>
      

      And a new terminal is created (/dev/ttyU0).

      But when i try to start NUT this error appears:

      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start
      stopping megatec
      Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2
      Can't open /var/db/nut/megatec-ttyU0.pid: No such file or directory
      forcing megatec termination
      starting megatec
      Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2
      Network UPS Tools 2.2.2 - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.14 [megatec]
      Carlos Rodrigues (c) 2003-2008
      
      Megatec protocol UPS not detected.
      Startup timer elapsed, continuing...
      megatec failed to start
      

      The ups.conf is the follow:

      user=root
      [Mustek800VA]
      driver=megatec
      port=/dev/ttyU0
      

      Can anyone help me?

      Thanks
