Not considered a UPS? I don't have a fancy one that notifies the OS but it is sufficient to keep two PC's running for about 15minutes. That copes with 99% of all power cuts/brownouts that I've had in the last 4-5 years. It also simplifies some of the cabling in the office - all the power leads go to the UPS (2xPC,1xTFT,1xLP) which leaves more room on the extension bar to the router, switch and speakers. The UPS cannot protect my internet connection though - I might work on that but I'd need to make my own cable from 3-pin mains female to kettle male - the opposite of most kettle-type leads. (There's a proper name for those leads but I don't know it!) Then I could replace the printer lead with the router - far more useful as I rarely print anything. Hmm, looks like another trip to Maplins. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
