i. if you use APC Smart UPS (http://www.apcc.com): APC Powerchute software does not work for FreeBSD, but apcupsd is a good alternative: http://sourceforge.net/projects/apcupsd/ also see ports ii. orderly shutdown for server and clients is possible (FreeBSD, Windows NT,....) The windows client is based on a small cygwin distribution. --- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, R.J.
