It will put IP access, 'cable' TV and POTS phone on glass. They then cut down your copper drop. But midst the VoIP E911 dustup, the issue of backup power has arisen. The FIOS box needs local power, and a small gel-cell good for say 5 hours. The *subscriber* must buy and install new ones as needed. Some pholks are dubious how well that will work... If the cpe requires the consumer to test the battery no-one will ever replace them. Foreground: There's one report that Verizontal, in ex-NuNuts territory, is also not maintaining batteries in their on-premises DS-3 -> n DS-1's mux's. Only if you get a full DS-3 will they bother. Question: Have any NANOG'ers [NANOGites? NANOGees?] run into this? Again, this is LEC owned, LEC maintained, equipment....Do you provide generator power for such in your space? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Jaeggli Unix Consulting [email protected] GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C6E 0104 BAF0 40B0 5BD3 C38B F000 35AB B67F 56B2
