I might have just powered back up if I had given it more time, but I
was sort of anxious to get my server back up.  I plugged the UPS back
in, then reached over and turned on the server.  It didn't like that
and dropped power to the server.  Then I pressed the power button to
turn it off and then on again, then was able to power up my server
again.

It was purchased in 2004 so I would guess sometime around then.

Did the outputs that I sent just before this email have what you need?

I am game for testing if you have anything you want to do.  I just may
take a day or two to wait for an off peak time.  I also do not have a
system with PowerAlert.
