The SmartUPS v/s is a slightly different beast than a SmartUPS
and upsd didn't work out of the box because of a number of subtle
differences.  The v/s is mostly a dumbed down version of the
SmartUPS, but some differences tripped up upsd.  For example, the
number of bytes returned for some of the "info" things like
firmware, copyright, and such are different which throws
subsequent polls out of whack.  An option for variable length
command results would be helpful here (unless I it is already
there and I just missed it!)
