Thanks to all who responded to my request for UPS info.  I have gathered info
from several manufacturers.

However, one manufacturer (StediWatt) stands out due to NeXT-specific
monitoring software (Stedi-LANding) and VERY fast switching (20 microseconds)
in its stand-by system.  They also provide built-in phone line surge protection
and a surge-protected (but not uniterruptible power) outlet for an accessory
like a laser printer.  These seem to be nice (and rather unique) features.

I'd like to buy from these guys because they are NeXT developers and seem to be
one of the only (possibly, the only) UPS manufacturers to offer a NeXTSTEP app
that monitors the UPS and the state of line power, etc.  However, they aren't
the least expensive system, so I don't want to buy something that's got known
problems (I assume StediWatt isn't a cover for Neuron :-)

So I'd like to hear of any pros and cons of the Stedi-LANding system.

Thanks
