ISP Information:
A standard that was supposed to make adding peripherals to your system as easy as plugging them in and using them. Also referred to as Plug-and-Pray, its biggest contribution, aside from the endless cycle where Windows keeps finding and installing drivers you don't want installed, is the removal of jumpers from many devices. Seriously, though, Plug-and-Play has actually made configuration easier, even if it took a while
ISP Glossary:
Plug and Play - Pat,Yeah as others have mentioned, use a UPS. I have both a 650 and 1000for a couple different computers. I have my cable modem and wirelessrouter+switch on my UPS. It's pretty neat to be online surfing whenthe power is out to the house.With this being said, I think this is a good argument for why I wouldnever get rid of a normal regular POTS line at home. I hear peoplereplacing their home phones with cell phones, with VOIP phones, etc.I've got a regular el cheapo corded plugged in that takes power fromthe line. The uptime experienced in the voice world kicks butt overanything in the data world.KeithTELECOM Digest Editor wrote in messagenews:telecom23.206.12@telecom-digest.org... My questions are: since battery will keep computers going temporarily, and assuming one's cable line/or phone and DSL line was working, I am wondering if one could not run a battery to the Motorola MTA and the router and keep your Vonage on line even when the computers otherwise are shut down? PAT[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: But a good flip side of this argumentis that an independent UPS or power supply eliminates another ofthe excuses for the 'why Vonage could never replace traditional Bell'things, doesn't it. When the UPS is properly configured, since the'telephone' line (DSL in this instance) is so reliable, Vonage isalso. PAT]
