[Simh] Server down.

[Robert G. Schaffrath]

My office network went down yesterday in the middle of the night.  The 
UPS's can run about an hour but that was too much.  In the past twelve 
years we have had maybe two incidents with power going out more than 
thirty minutes.  This was one of those rare occasions.  We draw power 
off of a main feeder in the town we are located in so the power company 
tends to keep that line well maintained.  Plus we used to have a bank in 
our building and the power was upgraded substantially when they moved in 
(only to move out a few years later but the reliable power remained).
