I really find it hard to believe that you have invested thousands of dollars in a server and Netware 386 and not purchased a UPS. I use an AP520 UPS520ES w 520VA from American Power Systems that cost $475.00 plus another $40 for a card that goes into the server to monitor the system. A 1200VA is about $1200. You should really get a UPS. Especially one capapble of monitroing your server and shutting down automatically in the even of a power outage. I think some of the UPS even have a special adapter for the mouse port on PS2s.
