Acknowledgements
This project is the result of years of work by many individuals and
companies. Many of them are listed within the source code, CREDITS
file, release notes, and mailing list archives, but some prefer to be
anonymous. This software would not be possible without their help.
Development contributions
Many people have written or tweaked the software; the drivers, clients,
server and documentation have all received valuable attention from
numerous sources. The CREDITS file is not linked here because it contains
several tasty e-mail addresses that spam harvesters would love to have.
To see this file, grab a tarball and look
inside.
Pavel Korensky's original apcd provided the inspiration for pursuing
APC's smart protocol in 1996.
Fenton Technologies contributed a
PowerPal 660 to the development process for the fentonups driver and
provided the official Megatec protocol and official specifications on
various Fenton models. Trivia note: they also did the first public demo
of NUT at Comdex in 1999.
Bo Kirsey of VirCIO contributed a
Best Power Fortress 750 for the development of the bestups driver.
Invensys Energy Systems
(Best Power/SOLA) provided the
PhoenixTec protocol specification
for their equipment.
PowerKinetics technical
support provided documentation on their
MiniCOL protocol.
Eric Lawson provided scans of the
OneAC protocol.
John Marley used OCR software to transform the
SEC protocol scans into
a HTML document, since it's hard to
grep a bitmap.
Chris McKinnon scanned and converted the
Fortress protocol documentation.
Cyber Power Systems contributed a
700AVR model for testing and driver development.

MGE UPS SYSTEMS provided
extensive technical documents for their UPS product line, along with many
units for development of NUT-related projects. The company also sponsored
and later hired Arnaud Quette to further officially support these efforts.
Several drivers such as mge-utalk, mge-shut, snmp-ups, hidups, and
newhidups are the result of this collaboration, in addition to the
WMNut,
HID Parser
and
libhid
projects. The features page has improved artwork
thanks to Luc and Arnaud of MGE. Other client projects such as KNutClient
have also received assistance.
The original EU mirror and
several related projects are hosted on MGE's equipment at no cost to the
project. More information on their open source support can be found
on their web site.

Liebert Corporation supplied serial
test boxes and a UPStation GXT2 with the Web/SNMP card for development
of the liebert driver and expansion of the existing snmp-ups driver.
Tank provided documentation on the
Belkin/Delta protocol.
Potrans provided a Fenton PowerPal
600 (P series) for development of the safenet driver.
Other entries
If a company or individual isn't listed here, then I probably don't have
enough information about the situation. Developers are requested to
report vendor contributions to me so this list may reflect their help.
If I've left you out, send me some mail.
Notes on logos
Any company logos displayed here are present as a gesture of appreciation
for contributions and development towards the project. Small logos that
are simple may be added at the discretion of the coordinator.
