That's why if you use VOIP you should have a form of UPS for the server & it is also nice to have POE for any VOIP phones as you just have to make sure the switch is on the UPS instead of every outlet that phones are plugged into. One last thing some cordless phones can have one or more batteries for a UPS source in the base so you can still use it in a power outage. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
