I have two APC USP's. We have an older home with 2-conductor wiring. I |
| 16 |
have not been happy with these units since we moved in here. Our |
| 17 |
previous home had 3-conductor wiring and they seemed to work better in |
| 18 |
that house. |

The APC's are supported by apcupsd which will shut your machines down |
| 21 |
for you. It's important that you make sure whatever choice you make is |
| 22 |
well supported as you will likely not be sitting right there when the |
| 23 |
problem occurs. |
