This storm got me thinking - it looks like the phone system (mostly) stayed up ... at least until the CO batteries and generators died. But when we lost AC power at home my UPS running the DSL modem, wifi and firewall started to complain after half an hour... I disconnected the PC running the firewall (Pfsense) and wifi and stayed on the DSL modem with my laptop via a wire for another hour before the UPS finally died.
So what I need I think is a 12V battery and a setup that runs the modem, firewall, wifi and switch all directly off 12V - this has got to be a better solution than buying a bigger UPS. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
