I know this was mentioned before, but I didn't save any articles and all the articles have long since expired. I know that a NeXTstation with an external Fujitsu 2261 (the printer won't be on the UPS, so that's irrelevant) will draw from 150-300 watts a la NeXTanswers and some extrapolation, so I'm looking for one with at *least* 300 watt capability (a UPS, that is). I'd prefer one slightly larger than that, though, as it may end up hosting more than one machine while mine stays in the office here. Any suggestions as to a good UPS? I don't want anything expensive (nay, I can't afford anything more than $400), but the power glitches in the office here are really starting to worry me... On a related note, is there any way to power off a NeXTstation with a hardware password remotely? I use shutdown -p, but it asks for the hardware password before it turns itself off. Kinda defeats the purpose, if ya ask me. This is one of the original Station motherboards, I think (2.0v58?); ordered the day after NeXT announced them (September 22nd?) and received it December 17th at 5:05 PM. Thanks for any advice/suggestions in advance. Mike
