I'm seeing a similar problem with the belkin driver attached to the serial port.
Nut Version: 2.0.1-4 pauli:/etc/nut# uname -a Linux pauli.home.woodall.me.uk 2.4.27-3-k6 #1 Wed Feb 8 12:52:54 UTC 2006 i586 GNU/Linux In my case this seems to be caused by using the scanner which is attached by an old ISA scsi port (g_NCR5380). I've tried renice -20 on all the ups drivers and monitor but even that didn't help. What's a bit strange is that ssh etc still seems responsive while the scan is in progress. It just appears that it's the belkin driver that can't talk to the serial port while the scanner is running. (Note: I get the same problem if I attempt to run a ppp link over the serial link while using the scanner) I'm not too worried, this problem doesn't happen when I use an adaptec 2940 card - only reason I'm using the g_NCR5380 card is because it's an old machine with only 3 pci slots which are already filled - anyone know where I can get an old ISA bus video card from? ;-) Hope this might be of some use tracking down the problem.
