So what are you using? AC or DC? If you are not on DC, I would switch. Maybe you would have better luck.

You took the words right out of my mouth. -48vDC is *so* much cleaner and less troublesome than mains AC (or even upsed AC) that I urge all my clients to use it for *everything* whenever it's available.

Typically telco setups have about 30min-1hr of AC UPS capacity and 4-6 hrs of 48V battery capacity. Last time i was at MAE-East it didn't have any backup AC power and a nice DC setup. BTW, the cheap solution for DC hookup would be using a power inverter. --vadim
