Can someone give me recommendations for a good, reasonably priced
uninterruptible power supply suitable for a loaded 3B1 (ideally with enough
power left over for a 5620 terminal and an external modem, although they don't
*have* to be on it).  Here in beautiful Madison, NJ the electrical power is
none too reliable.  Every few weeks the power just goes off for about 10
seconds, then comes back on.  Fortunately the disk heads seem to retract when
this happens (clunk!) and so far I haven't had a disk crash.  Also, by sheer
luck the file system has not got out of sync.  But obviously it's just a matter
of time before disaster strikes.  Given the nature of the problem a UPS that
can supply power for just a minute or two should be sufficient.  I already use
a surge protector but obviously no surge protector can save you when the power
goes out for several seconds.
