- We have a 1200VX made by APC. It is massive overkill. It can run the
- NeXTstation 2 modems and some other equipment for well over an hour.

- You should know that you can buy a small APC for around $100 now. One
- feature that makes them very attractive is that they can be configured
- to run an RS232 connection into your machine and shut it down (ie, call
- shutdown -p) before the UPS runs out of juice. I think this is a
- wonderful feature.
