Re: [PCTECH] IPcop box on 24x7x365?

[Mike Wills <koldark@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have mine running 24x7 and not have a problem. I think I had an
uptime of 100+ days before I had to reboot the server because of a
patch. I don't fully keep track of my uptimes on that box, but I do
know it is at least 99.9% uptime. I also have mine on a UPS so that
brown-outs and power outages aren't generally a problem.
