If somebody else happen to know what you are talking about, they will
surely help.

I am possibly able to provide som assistance after you tell me what it
all is. I know what USB is, if it is Universal Serial Bus, and perhaps
"s/w" is software.

But what is a powermate? What is "doco"? "for serial ports"? What
serial ports? What is Nut?


A quick google on the internet gives some links that might be usefull:

If you don't have gentoo linux, there may be some differences.

If you have Fedora Core 4, you do not need to recompile the kernel,
I guess. I have the modules powermate.ko and evdev.ko anyway, so
I would probably only need to edit the hotpulg files.

but linux-2.4 is not current anymore. Watch out for things that do
not apply.

It's quite simple - there's a Nut and a USB device in the same area.
One of them needs help. I think it should be offered - would he like
one crack with the hammer or two?

We know WHO it is, or suspect we do.

I can't help wondering why a person would believe that that rubbish he
spouts should be understandable to anyone! Does he think we know what
a "powermate 3105" is? Is it a PDA? A portable? A UPS?

And what the heck does he mean by "powermate s/w"? Linux software?

If not, so what?

He might go out and spend some money on a usb driven serial port.
