yep, I know. That's still part of the planned actions.
But the current scope is still limited to MGE Office Protection Systems.
The other Eaton owned companies (Powerware and PhoenixTec) are still
part of the discussion we're holding. But it's longer and heavier that
estimated.

So I still can't make any promise, nor take decision on this :-(

Do you have a list of interesting / needed hardware?

ATM, I have a 5115 and a 9120+ConnectUPS Web/SNMP card underhand if
needed...

While waiting for better news, thanks,
Arnaud
