Ah...that's gotta suck :/ None of my systems have bk/up power. If the power
goes out, they all go out.  Never had a problem with them coming back up
though.  The only one that runs all the time is the host for Orbit BBS. If
the power goes down, it stays down until I power it back up. I don't leave
any other systems running while I'm at work.

 Ji> Anyone have any experience with propane generators?

I know of several places around my town that use natural gas or LP (liquid
propane).  Personally, I have a 5700 watt gasoline generator.

I hope you get your systems back up :)

Thanks!
