I use a Cyberpower CPS1500AVR and CPS900AVR with NUT on FreeBSD without 
any trouble.  The 550SL appears to be in the NUT drivers list.

"Cyber Power Systems"	"ups"	"1"	"550SL"	""	"genericups upstype=7"

Not sure about the Tripp Lite models listed, I didn't see 350VA or 550VA 
in the list, but I am not as familiar with there models, so they may be 
compatible with other Trip Lite models listed.  A quick check would be 
to install NUT on your server, and look through the 
/usr/local/etc/nut/driver.list file.  It also contains comments, listing 
website information to get more information about the supported drivers.
