Jim, Thanks for responding. This is affecting about 12 people in an
approximatly 1200 square foot office. Some people are on powerstrips
some are going direct into the wall one person has a very expensive
power strip. The UPS I am speaking of keeps a log and will record an
entry and send me an email if the power spikes or dips.
ChipPC is making us a battery pack which will run the unit for 24 hours
we are going to try that as well. I am going to heed your advice and put
everyone on the exact same power strip on Monday though.
In my almost 13 years in the business this is probably the most bizzare
problem I ever faced.
