Okay, I think we either had a power failure (unlikely because other
computers in the same room were still up and running) or we have a flaky UPS
(looking more and more likely even though we just had it checked out).
However, in looking at the system log files, and in particular, event type
148 (UPS Monitor Log), they all look suspiciously the same:

FRI, MAY 17, 2002    5:16 PM       LOG1367.PUB.SYS              SYSTEM (PIN
60)
UPS MONITOR LOG
MONITOR STATUS   :  $FFDF0089

NMEV#200@298 UPS LDEV  reports loss of AC input power. (UPSERR 0033)

Prev Hi Volt Shut:  False               Prev Lo Volt Shut:  False

All the log records for the UPS reporting loss of AC power show that there
was zero voltage (AC Line Fail     :  True).  Now, I'm not saying this is
not possible, but I'm wondering if the UPS log ever shows anything else.  Is
this a failing of the UPS monitoring software on the 3000?

I'm going to check some older log files (from tape) and see what they
show....
