We have several APC Smart-UPS 1000's here, with several computers running off of each. We simply plug the machines into the UPS and away they go.

Of course, you could be talking about something other than the 120VAC signal.... -- Chip Marshall http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ Finger for PGP GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a18>?
