Although our main office here has generator power, what do all the intermediary unmanaged network sites typically have for DC power along the way ? One of my local fibre providers told me that the remote hut we are off of only will last until about 9:30pm tonight and then bye bye. Is that typical to have 6hrs battery ? I am sure its all over the map from provider to provider, but does anyone know what Bell Canada (my other local loop provider) typical aims for in terms of battery power for remote huts ? ---Mike At 05:41 PM 14/08/2003 -0400, Ingevaldson, Dan (ISS Atlanta) wrote: Latest is the failure at 14th street was the original failure and the rest cascaded from there. -d -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 4:51 PM To: Aaron D.
