It would probably be better to test with his PC, if he can do so safely. Otherwise it would be better to measure how much current his PC draws to make sure he is testing with a large enough load. (100W might not be enough.) _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
