Subject: Warning on some Unison UPSes

We recently had some power supplies fried by a Unison Unipower 600.
We had too much of a load plugged into the circuit the UPS was plugged
into, and instead of doing anything protective or rational like shutting
itself down, it burned up the power supply on a PC and a modem (at least;
other negative results are possible).

I've heard good things about some Unisons, but apparently this one wasn't
one of those.  Unison is aware of the problem, but I don't know about any
upgrade/swap policy.
