No, because a router does not have a shutdown procedure. Therefore, there is no "unsafe" way of shutting down a router - you simply unplug it. In other words, just attach the router to a UPS, and do nothing. The UPS will supply power as long as possible, and as soon as possible, and no driver is required. -- Peter _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
