My APC use used that too.  These are different.  That's why 'nut' is 
nice, it supports a BUNCH of UPS systems that aren't APC compatible.

Using ugen0.04 was my first thought, but that didn't help.  I tried all 
of the ugen0.xx ports, just to see what would happen.

I tried usb0, but I don't think the ugen0 device gets tied into the usb0 
device; besides, usb0 is my KVM switch.  I tried all of the other usbx 
options, and they call fail with "not configured" error.

I double checked all of the devices in /dev - they all seem to be there.
