If both were on, can you install the software on two systems and have them both shutdown in the case of a power failure?

TY!
I never tried it and do not know. I suspect that the answer traveler provided is correct.

Re: What size UPS to you use?

APC 900 - Great for me as outages around here are usually 10 minutes or less. Keeps the digital phones running during an outage.

Re: What size UPS to you use?

Hi:

I seemed to have to vote 500-999 VA but I actually use 2 of these 750 VA UPSs on my main box.
