Too bad uplinks don't maintain any momentum when they fail... although service failures are statistically continuous, I feel a fresh season of them coming upon us, fwiw. Hard to go wrong with a prediction like that. I am beginning to wonder if boiling down a majority of [insurable] liabilities into a simple response list of {call 911|exec|admin}, {plug it back in}, etc, and paying between minimum wage and $10/hr @ 24/7, is "a better way to go". My apologies to the future and its living wage standards. :)
Oh, and thanks folks, I will avoid Best for sure, although I am 90% sold on APC.
Some things matter more... that 10% being a separate class of devices where an cheap battery is handy and power regulation is wise, but automation or external control is nearly pointless.

can talk to penguins. I would stay away from BEST UPS units. I don't
know how BEST Power or what ever name they are running under now. I
have never seen a BEST Power UPS run for a year or two with out
problems.
Funny you should mention Best Power. I also have a bunch of those at work, and I just had a 3.1kva one crap out on me. woo! The best part is, while it was dying it was feeding bad power to a bunch of my core network equipment, so it was flaking out too, causing Internet service outages. Double woo! So, yeah +1 on the "Best power my [EMAIL PROTECTED]" list.
