Have any NANOG'ers [NANOGites? NANOGees?] run into this? Again, this is LEC owned, LEC maintained, equipment....Do you provide generator power for such in your space?
We do provide generator power in our space to the telcos. BellSouth has a big (pre-existing) battery bank, but KMC didn't install batteries (there wasn't much point; if our UPS and generator fail, there's nothing for them to provide service to). In this area, I believe that BellSouth uses natural gas powered generators, as many of the remote cabinets (installed in the last 5-7 years or so anyway) have a gas meter next to them and a line running into a second cabinet (generator/power supply I suppose). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
