Greetings August!

   A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a coded message from August
Abolins to All was intercepted...

 AA> Does anyone here use any of the UPSs in the Belkin line-up?

Yup.  I attached one of their 500VA models to my wife's PC a little over a year ago.

No complaints here.  At least once a week we get a brown-out, and it has
smoothed things out admirably.  I just checked it's log, hoping to find a
"stress test" of sorts, but the longest power outage I could find
noted was 8 seconds.  :-)

I must admit that one of the things which immediately impressed me with the
Belkin unit, was the accompanying software.  Toto, we're not just in
Windows anymore.  I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet, but it
claims to have native Linux applications.
