Has anyone heard of a device that can watch for system crashes during rendering and activate an autodialer? Nothing worse than losing a weekend of rendering at the office.

They have one at a local animation firm around here, it's called an intern <g>. Cheap, too. Sorry to hear about your power down! I've had that happen to me, and am considering getting an uninterupted power supply. Regards, John Tissavary (La Luna cie)

The only thing I've heard of that will do something like that is Compaq's system manager board. It will call you/page you whatever to alert you of a system error. It is an EISA board and I'm not sure if it will work in anything but a System Pro or Prosignia…. Just a thought though. Dave Mennenoh
