as does a relatively small company that will customize any PDU to your needs for a reasonable price called Geist. (geistintl.com). They have a basic template, but will modify a PDU to do anything you want including per-outlet switching and amp/power usage monitoring. Servertech has the advantage to having a good network management structure builtin including radius and tacacs auth as well as SNMP traps and fully queryable MIB. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
