I have two APC USP's. We have an older home with 2-conductor wiring. I have not been happy with these units since we moved in here. Our previous home had 3-conductor wiring and they seemed to work better in that house. The APC's are supported by apcupsd which will shut your machines down for you. It's important that you make sure whatever choice you make is well supported as you will likely not be sitting right there when the problem occurs. - Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
