Folks,
Got a client with a power problem at home. His two computers, and
assorted peripherals, were on surge protectors.
When I went over to see what was wrong with a modem, his wife was
vacuuming another room. Noticed the other computer re-booting. Yup, too
much drain on the circuit; checked the breaker box in basement,
professional install, everything up to code. Despite the surge
protectors -- you can't depend on this stuff entirely -- his modem
became an expensive fuse.
While I'm familiar with the problems of power conditioning, it's not
what I do for a living. I'll throw this out to the list to see what
other folk recommend. While my client is looking for a low cost solution
if possible, I'd like to hear other folk's options.
Thanks,
Jim Griffin
