A UPS on the SERVER may keep the server up, but the rest of the NETWORK 
(including individual workstations) will go down when the power goes down.

I've had 8 to 10 power outages on the server, 3 with a UPS on the server
and I havn't noticed any difference.  When the power comes back on, the 
server comes back up.  Since all the workstations went down, whatever people 
were doing at the  time was lost anyway.

The UPS just supplies power untill its betteries run low, then the server 
goes down too.

What kind of SPECIFIC problems do poeple have with their 
servers/open files/etc when the power goes down??
Is the problem with Netware or a particular application?
