I have often wondered how vigilant of late the LEC's are in maintaining their standby power systems. It takes manpower & money to keep on top of same [In general, it should be run under some load for an hour, and that should be done once a ~week/month.]. Seeing as how they can't keep other slots filled.... Further, at one time the spec called for the battery plant to last long enough for a truck-mounted generator to get there when the in-place unit bits the onion. Wonder if that is still true.... -- A host is a host from coast to [email protected] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
