How to clean up mains power?

We're having to reset our office network at least once a day. it locks up and only a power cycle will get things going again.

We've replaced the router and the DSL modem. No joy. Firmware is up-to-date. The neighboring office manager says that they are experiencing similar issues. The building is old and will be bulldozed within a year (60's/70's vintage wiring).

How can we confirm or eliminate the power as the culprit? Would like to take steps to filter the mains power rather than measure it (ie, strip chart recorder) because I'm certain that it's the culprit, and spending a few $$ on cleaning up the power is $$ well spent, IMHO.

The current power strip powering the network devices -- DSL modem, Ethernet network router/switch (no wireless) -- has integral surge protection but nothing more. All suggestions are welcome.
