The "MODEL" parameter does _not_ mean the actual model of your
ups, you must set it to the nut driver used for your UPS (or
"upsdrvctl").
# UPS device - needed if UPS is locally attached
DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0
Wasn't your UPS connected through USB, not the serial port?
Ok, I'll set up with MODEL=genericups, but I'm not sure what USB uses
for connections <socket> <port> and how to determine the same for a
config file.
Thanks for all you help Markku.

-- 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

Thanks Tom,
I've run 'Tail /var/log/messages' several times before - same result
"Sep 25 17:19:24 reddwarf kernel: usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 2
Sep 25 17:19:34 reddwarf kernel: usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 5"
I have never seen so many config files for one programme !!
