If the kernel supports this UPS, then when the UPS is plugged into a USB 
port, the kernel should create some devices for software to interact with 
it. If the UPS requires a serial-port device then I'd expect the kernel 
to create a serial port for it.

What does the kernel do when you plug the UPS into a USB port?
