Posted for a co-worker:
I presently have several 386 machines running the
Interactive unix operationg system. The machines are connected
to uninterruptable power supplies which do not have the ability
to inform the machines when battery power has been depleted.
Consequently, on weekends during a power failure the machines
crash twenty minutes after utility power has been lost.
I have heard of a device which plugs into the utility power
outlet and a serial port on the 386. The device in conjuction
with sone software aletts the 386 when utility power has been
interrupted and allows the machine to perform an orderly
shutdown. If anyone knows the manufactruer of such a device
could you please let me know.
Please respond to: gpl@ao.gov
Thank you,
