Not if all you want is to give your home system 5 minutes to shut down in a power failure, or to handle the occasional 30-second outage, of which my area seems to have more than its fair share. The saying about "Horses for courses" is especially true here. I don't get business DSL with a horrendeously expensive SLA for my home ADSL service either. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
