Maybe be very stupid > question, but wondering about local telex or cable systems, ect ect. It's DSL, which is powered by the telephone company. My server, router and Ethernet switch are all on UPSes, but as soon as one of them dies, the list will become inaccessible. I'm not especially inclined to find out how long they'll keep going after the power goes out, though. The one thing I've never managed to get set up is a system to automatically shut down the computers when the power fails, in case I'm not here. I only have one UPS that can signal, so I'd have to have one computer tell all the others to shut down. In theory, I can do it with some software from APC, but it's been a paint to get it working even on one machine.
