There are always layers of complexity, layers of causation and layers of blame in a situation like this. You might end up finding that 20 people were 5% to blame but it just so happened that all 20 made the wrong mistake at the wrong time to cause 100% failure.
And the generator was rusting away next door.
But you do have some good advice here regarding power. Thanks.
My mind was molded early in my career by the Bell System practice. Pitty me.. Seriously, working in the wireless business with lots of money, and the ISP business with just enough money to keep pace with growth, I have seen both sides of the coin. I completely understand the economic constraints of a small to medium ISP's and their struggle to make ends meet. On the other hand, I believe the large IAP's (almost all publicly traded companies) owe their subscribers only the best level of performance. Patrick J.
