SmartUPS+PowerChute+Tru64 problem

Hi all,

I have tried to connect an AlhaServer ES40 running
True64 4.0f to an APC SmartUPS 3000 (SU3000INET)
using PowerChute Plus v4.2.2.1. The software
seems to be installed ok, but the machine
is unable to communicate with the UPS.
I have used the '940-0024c' cable to connect the
UPS to the first COM port on the Alpha.
I added the following line to /etc/inittab
ups:3:off:/usr/sbin/getty -h tty00 2400
I did 'init q'. When I then do 'ps aux | grep -i getty'
I only get a line corresponding to the
console (/usr/sbin/getty console console vt100).
When I try 'upsoff /dev/tty00 AAA' nothing
hapens. 'upswrite /dev/tty00 verify' followed
by 'echo #?' returns 255 instead of 5.

I have found some messages relating to
this subject in the archives but I am
still not able to get it working.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Bart.
