A 12 amp serge power supply should be plenty, 10 probably would even do it 
but if it's switching I'd go no less than 12. There's nothing wrong with 
running everything off 1 power supply . I have always done it, but there are 
times I would like to run the packet station off it's own smaller power 
supply, just, more to save a little power over having the big one idling 
24/7 but I really don't think it's worth the expense.
