And electrical networks in Russia is not same thing as electrical networks in US for example. It is normal have 190V or 250V voltage instead of normal 220V here. This can floatly change from 190 to 250 or even to 170 :-( APC UPSes could not resist in these situations, but much dumber Sendon works great. It is possible that PC will work Ok _without_ any UPS, while cant work with APC UPS :-( So, I prefer that my server _WORK_ while I near it, instead of waiting 210V forever :-) Because our business can live without network server at weekend (and if it can't live, then I'll be found and taken even from Hell) I don't need very smart UPS. But if I'll need it BADLY, I'll make cable (remember, Sendon HAS serial port). -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
