"cat /proc/usb/devices" and look for your UPS...

How is that? Did you read it anywhere at Nut's site? :-?
"usbhid-ups" is the driver to be used, not the port. I mean IIRC, you can
define "usbhid-ups" as driver and "/dev/ttyS0" as serial port (or "auto"
for USB").

Nut should be just fine. More difficult is to find nowadays a serial port
embedded in motherboard, they are becoming "extinct".
