[TriLUG] OT: UPS on Cablemodem -- was m0n0wall -- was OT: tracking software.

[Bill Vinson]

I haven't lost signal during a power outage that I know of, but during
the last big ice storm I was without power for 5 days (pre-generator)
and I have no idea what my cable modem was doing. Might have been okay
as the whole rest of Holly Springs had power except my damn
subdivision :)
