Static System

Just watched very good doco on the AeroPeru crash with the tape left on the static system. Very good detail and voice recorder made for interesting if not frightening listening.

Although an ATPL license holder I have tried looking for info from my study guides on static systems and still have trouble answering a few things.

1) Do larger jets have an alternate static source from withing the aircraft (like a Baron for example) which can be used if problems arise like that on the b757?

2) A mention was made in the doco that the IAS was thru the roof with high speed warning and the stick shaker operating at the same time. In a high speed stall does the stick do anything or is there only an oral/anunciator warning?

I for one minute do not want to criticise the crew at all however im curious to know what methods of flying you would adopt in this scenario. Power + Attitude to give performance?
