any ideas on what to use to back up one of those cable TV phone modems? seems like the cable phone guys should have put one on there. What size to use? TIA

If you're going to use one just for the modem, get the largest you can afford. If you're also going to give some back up for your computer... get the largest you can afford, and don't plug a CRT monitor into the battery backed outlets. Check the modem itself, some models have a small battery backup built in. Adding a UPs is a decent idea.

around here they come with a "6" hour battery backup...IMO that's far too short a time if you have an alarm connected to it. I've been recommending that the client buy an additional UPS to power it along with their computer.
