1) If his phones are this critical, he needs a triple redundant generator.
2) Ask him what he would like to do after 36 hours of power outage, when
even the telco stops being able to provide battery on their POTS lines.  If
your provider is out, there's very little you can do.  Perhaps a ham radio
attached to a car battery?

Speed costs; how fast would you like to go?
