Interesting.  I have a UPS (APC Back-UPS ES 550 (stepped)) on the same circuit
(residential power) that routinely gives me power outage messages where an
outage lasts 1-2 seconds.  Other electrical devices (lights, etc) are not
affected and I just thought that the UPS was very sensitive.  Thanks for the
