Another thought - does the utilization only occur during the day? Or is this 24/7? If this happens 24/7 then I'd opt for disconnecting things after hours until you find the culprit.<div><br clear="all"><b>Richard Maloley II</b><div>

Failing that, disconnect things one at a time (less important things<br>
first, of course) until it stops.<br>
<br>
Then reconnect the last thing you disconnected, and investigate what<br>
that thing is doing vs what its supposed to be doing.<br>
<br>
If you can do "groups of things" and identify the group, then you can<br>
do individual stations in that group/segment.<br>
