That evidently is the situation, we are anywhere from 10 to 15 miles
from the CO at the remote POP. I believe our best option is to go with the
remote control module on the UPS.

Yes, it is a hairy situation, when the lines go out, the majority of the
times, it does require someone to be at the remote site to remedy. It
always happens during those damn East Tennessee storms. Any kind of
little electrical glitch and we lose the PRIs. We have a UPS at the site,
I sometimes wonder about the telco up there though.
