Posted for a co-worker:

     I  presently  have  several   386   machines   running   the
Interactive  unix  operationg system.  The machines are connected
to uninterruptable power supplies which do not have  the  ability
to  inform  the  machines  when  battery power has been depleted.
Consequently, on weekends during a  power  failure  the  machines
crash twenty minutes after utility power has been lost.

     I have heard of a device which plugs into the utility  power
outlet  and  a  serial port on the 386.  The device in conjuction
with sone software aletts the 386 when  utility  power  has  been
interrupted   and  allows  the  machine  to  perform  an  orderly
shutdown.  If anyone knows the  manufactruer  of  such  a  device
could you please let me know.
		Please respond to:  gpl@ao.gov
			Thank you,
                        Glen P. Lichtenwalter
