Have you tried the wti_nps plugin?  It keys off words like "Power 
Switch" (instead of Network Power Switch) and "PS>" (instead of NPS>) so 
it may just be compatible.  Try something like:

stonith -t wti_nps -p "IPS_ipaddr IPS_password" -l

and see if you get a list of outlets (add -d option for debug info).
