(Sorry, I should have read and thought all the way before I finally hit send) I gave a 450VA ups to my Dad, to keep his Vonage adapter and Cable modem running. I didn't measure them, but their transformers are rated for 7W and 15W, so combined they can draw a maximum of 22W. Probably draw even less if I measure them. His phone only works for about 20 minutes in a power outage. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
