	I guess this will remain a mystery until my next visit. I was
supposed to have installed more equipment (Like a 2509) so I had console
access to some of the equipment, but I'm short on amps. Hopefully I'll get
the time to plan out everything to show up before I get there, along with
an electrician. Then maybe I can run everything I want, AND install a 
UPS on the equipment that needs it! {The one I did originally buy didn't
work as expected... It would "pretend" to be out of power LONG before it
was, and it would "pretend" it knew how much was left} I'd buy some nice big
honker of one, but I have space/weight issues to deal with... SIGH...
I'm so tempted to tear part of a wall out.
