Ahh, good thing.
[What did it become?]
Who knows hertz and 60 volts. A serviceman across the hall did something
nasty to the transformer servicing the building when trying to re-route
power for a remodeling job. Yes, they're the same ones who cut our power
for 2 hours because 'We had UPSes, right?'
If the problem was caused by some inept serviceman mucking about with a
transformer, it is highly unlikely that there was any change in the
line frequency.

[When you get to the machine room, power line monitors
etc.]
Don't make me laugh! Our machine room is a closet.
(Serious! I'll take a picture sometime!)
This is an ISP, not a national distribution center or something...
Oh, and who uses 400hz for line frequency?
I am officially here, by the way. CILCO is still yelling at A&B Construction
(Or whomever they were...) and my boss wants to go help. The machines
seemed to care more about halving the line voltage (Which I wasn't told
about) than the frequency change...
