No, there lights apparently haven't gone off while they were home/awake.  They can log on but that's the end of it.  I think it is a DNS issue from the dial-up end.  I told them to contact their ISP and see what they have to say.  If their DNS server went bye bye due to the power outages, there's not much my friends can do. 
 
This is why we have a pair of small 10 KW diesel generators, set up as an auxiliary power source.  We have been up through two hurricanes so far.  We have to start it manually, but it's very reliable.

    Has this adversely affected anyone in the California area?  I ask be cause a friend out that way who has had an otherwise near perfect connection through dial-up is no longer able to connect for Email or WWW.
