I understand that, but does the telex have full UPS, probably generator based? How big of an outage would there be before you couldn't send anything?> Okay, I can understand your house, but unless you are using a > satellite or > microwave to transmit, how does the message get out? 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. Nick
Wondering if this is the same around the country: I can think of 4 local telex buildings I know, they are completely windowless, not even mail slots. Is it that way everywhere? Why?
