-- To find out where udev is putting your ups, as root run 
"tail /var/log/message" after plugging the ups into the usb socket, the entry 
you want will probably contain /dev/ttyUSB1..4.  But be warned, it may not 
always be loaded as the same usb device depending on other usb devices being 
plugged or unplugged.

You will probably have to write a rule for your ups.  Take a look at the man 
page for udev and examine the existing rules in /etc/udev/rules.d to get the 
idea.  It would be a good idea to create a "file" under /dev, sav /dev/ups, 
and put a symlink pointing to it in the rule.

Hope this helps,
Tom

Oops:  Looks like I made a mistake on the rules location the first time I sent 
this.  It's corrected above.
